There were too many grammatical errors with the seeming misuse between their and theirs. It wasn't clear whether the soldier was a multi spirit individual and should be referred to as theirs but then it switched to their as well.
I just couldn't deal any further with this book, I had higher hopes for the series given that it's written by a variety of authors I really like.
It was just too much when the main character Jane gets whipped by her mother and then her first thought once she is free is that she needs to care for the vampire and take off her dress to wash it? I mean it was just ridiculous. I'm all for a bit of smut in a romance, but this was just ridiculous.

Dream a Little Dream was another DNF for me after making it to nearly 50% of the way through, I just couldn't continue. I think this is sadly the end of my time with the Chicago Stars series, as I come to terms that this series feels too dated, has too many unsettling religious overtones and is just massively misogynistic.
The point of which I had to DNF this book was when Gabe admitted he was underpaying Rachel because he didn't want her to leave. He was purposely making her dependent on him. He switched her pay to a salary so he could seduce her in work hours and then she wouldn't be getting paid for sex. He also spoke about marrying her to keep her there, despite not really seeming to like her, finding it difficult to be around her child and it just seemed ludicrous.
The whole story-line was something I was very apprehensive about and it felt like a little bit too much, but it just got all the more ridiculous when Rachel turned out to be some widowed televangelist crook's wife who the whole town hated.
I'm not sure if I'll be returning to Susan Elizabeth Philips' work, but for now I'm calling it an end.

Dnf - why is every man in this entire series incapable of letting their girlfriend be independent? It's a creepy and archaic attitude. Nope, nope, nope.

Giving up on this book, just couldn't get on board with the characters, especially the MC's love interest dragging her around by her wrist all the time. There is such a thing as holding a hand and it doesn't lessen your masculinity.
Disappointed as I quite enjoyed Suzanne Wright's Feral Sins book and series but this just didn't work for me.

Dnf - I've tried to read this book two times. The second time I put it down in March and I haven't felt inclined to finish it since, so I think I just have to dnf this one for now.
There's nothing wrong with the book, it just wasn't working for me right now.
