About the author
Carmen Green
43 books37 followersNational bestselling author Carmen Green was born in Buffalo, New York, and had plans to study law before becoming a published author. While raising her three children, she wrote her first book on legal pads and transcribed it onto a computer on weekends before selling her first novel in 1993. Since that time she has sold more than twenty-six novels and novellas, and is proud that one of her books was made into a TV movie in 2001—where she had a cameo role.
In addition to writing full-time, Carmen is a mom of four and a full-time student completing her masters degree in creative writing. She teaches writing at a local community school one evening a week and she’s a founding member of the Femme Fantastik Tour, a group that tours military bases promoting their literary works throughout the United States and Europe. In her spare time Carmen likes live music concerts, gardening, vacations in quiet tropical places and long cruises that don’t require her to do anything but read, sleep and eat.

NOT Quite What I Expected…
“Flirt” is the first novel I’ve read by Ms. Carmen Green. And what can I say, it wasn’t the worst I’ve ever read, but it wasn’t all that great. Simply stated it was just lacking something! Although the storyline had potential, I just didn’t get caught up in her writing style. And I don't think she provides the reader with a very plausible explanation regarding Sydney's mom; why she disappeared, why she stayed away, and the whole sex shop inheritance-thing, I felt like I was left hanging. IMO, the dialogue had some “weird” transitions that came off awkward, forced, and at times just seemed totally unnecessary. A few times I found myself re-reading previous paragraphs to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I also found the main characters personalities to be a little BLAND and NOT all that MEMORABLE. And the chemistry between Drew and Sydney throughout was dull and unimpressive. Apparently Sydney made a MAJOR transformation within this novel from being a “mousy” bookkeeper to a confident, sexy and uninhibited “wild cat” in the bedroom and out, yet the author doesn’t provide enough detail as to how or when this transformation came about. ALL of a SUDDEN she just starts taking over, taking charge and Drew is more attracted to her despite their on-going “war”. The story had some funny moments, and a little mystery, but I just didn't get swept away, like I had hoped. Perhaps, I just didn’t get it because I came in on an already running series (The Crawford Series). So, that being said, I still have two more books by Ms. Green at home, so, I will definitely give her work another read. But this was just an OKAY read for me.

The characters weren't really developed enough for the reader to even care about them. It was a light read not deep at all.
