Melt With You by Jessie Evans

Stars: 1.5 out of 5

Premise: Beautiful, 33 year old Naomi moves back to small-town Georgia to recapture the heart of a flaming hot fire-fighter high school sweetheart. However, he's not going to come without a fight.

Pacing: Way too fast paced. All events happen in a month's time span. I HATE WHIRLWIND ROMANCES.

Plotline: Contrived, romanticized. Pushed through plot too fast.

Writing Style: Amateurish at best. It had minor editing problems with missing periods and commas. The sex writing was absolutely atrocious and unappealing. There was a random chapter about a minor character that was pointless. There were a few references that were off-mark, such as bees being able to smell fear. Also, the author apparently thinks that single mothers can apply for and get a child to adopt in a year's time frame. HAH! This is obviously a work from a new author.

Best [and Worst!] Quotes:
“[They needed to start] their new lives off on the right foot. For Naomi, that first, right-footed step would be taken tonight.”
Awkward wording in lots of parts.

"His cock was still the loveliest one she'd ever seen- long and thick, with an even thicker base like the root of the manliest tree ever grown, and a plump tip as round and flushed and delicious-looking as exotic fruit." 
This is the weirdest description of a penis I've ever seen.

Characters:

Naomi is a big fat bitch. That's the best way to describe her.

She's stalkerish, waiting beside his truck after the auction to see him, and googling him for hours to learn about his life. She says she likes to avoid conflict. This is very accurate. She wrote a five page break up letter to Jake when they broke up, AND cheated on him with HIS BROTHER. So not only is she a big fat bitch, she's a cheating whore as well. She also thinks at one point that real men are attracted to curves, which is rather upsetting because there is no standard of beauty; curvy or not, anyone can be beautiful. Naomi as a character has no redeeming qualities, and she is hellbent on making Jake love her again while lying and saying she just wants to be friends. She is a manipulative, ugly character.

Jake is no-bullshit at first, and I found myself hoping he would shut her down and she would live forever alone in her misery.[ Of course, that doesn't happen. He falls head over heels, with them declaring their love within weeks and getting engaged within a month of meeting again. This is after he finds out about the cheating with the brother (that Naomi disgustingly doesn't reveal to him). (hide spoiler)] So while he was written as a very blunt, strong character, the author ruined him by having him propose to the vile Naomi after only a month. Poor character development all around.
