This is not to attack you, but as a writer I have to say that this is biggest pant-load of crap I’ve ever seen on the back of a book. The idea that a word abortion like this gets published is a travesty to writing and assault on literary sensibility.

On the other hand, the description does serve it’s purpose. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would not spend two-cents or two seconds on this verbal bile.

Upon reading this opinion, the New York Times best-selling author cried all the way to the bank, to deposit her latest huge royalty check.

Well, you have your opinion as well, but Sandra Hill is making bank off of this “verbal bile” with over 50 books published. This one is part of a 7-book series that each has 4 Star + reviews on Amazon.

This one (book 7 in the series) has a 4.7 star rating and is number 40 in the subgenre Romance>Historical>Viking rankings. So she has a good fan base, they buy her books, and she earns a living.

It’s not Stephen King money, but it’s more than enough to not care what people who would never read her books say about them.
