What Do You Look for In A Review Hop
There’s been a ton of controversy around bloggers, reviewers and authors this year. Honestly, there have been several episodes that make me want to just push away from the keyboard and hide because the level of vitriol has gotten out of control and crossed several ethical lines.
People often try to separate themselves into either author or reader. Honestly, I’m both. Just because I’m an author doesn’t mean I’m not still a reader first and foremost. So what I look for in a review is honesty. Did you like the book. Why or why not. What worked for you. Was the book badly written. I’ll buy a DNF review if the book looks like something I’d enjoy so long as the review doesn’t say the writing sucked. I don’t like personal attacks and too much snark makes me cringe unless its deliberately meant as tongue in cheek. So there you have it. Pretty simple, right?
Tell me, what do you look for in a review? What’s the one thing guaranteed to make you pick up a book and try it out?
I’ll pick 2 winners today to receive a digital eARC of UNTIL THERE WAS YOU.
From the back cover:
Jessica Scott returns with an all-new contemporary eBook original romance, following last fall’s release of her sizzling debut novel Because of You.
He plays by the rules, she’s not afraid to break them. Now these two strong-willed army captains will prove that opposites attract . . .
A by-the-book captain with a West Point background, Captain Evan Loehr refuses to mix business with pleasure—except for an unguarded instance years ago when he succumbed to the deep sensuality of redheaded beauty Claire Montoya. From that moment on, though, Evan has been at odds with her, through two deployments to Iraq and back again. But when he is asked to train a team prepping for combat alongside Claire, battle-worn Evan is in for the fight of his life.
Strong, gutsy, and loyal, Captain Claire Montoya has worked hard to earn the rank on her chest. In Evan, Claire sees a rigid officer who puts the rules before everything else—including his people. When the mission forces them together, Claire soon discovers that there is more to Evan than meets the eye.
He’s more than the rank on his chest; he’s a man with dark secrets and deep longings. For all their differences, Evan and Claire share two crucial passions: their country and each other.
