Monica's Reviews > Thirteen

This is the third book in the Love by Numbers series. I really loved the first two books in the series. All of the characters in this series are complex, with compelling back stories. When I read the first two books in the series, I felt so drawn in. Unfortunately, I know the author has had some issues with her previous publisher, and had to pull this book from them and self-publish. And it could have used a more edited touch. There were the obvious typos, and an occasional wrong character name that took me out of the story. But more, it just didn't quite have the same overall polished feel that the other two books had in them. I rated it 4 stars, but I think my rating was only that high because my love of the first book in the series is so strong, it created a bias towards the series. You can self-publish and still have a really nicely edited book, and I hope if Tia Fielding continues to self-publish that she contracts a great editor.
