Storm Called by Susan Copperfield

 

3 Star

Patrick Laycal was working as a dishwasher when the Royals decide to eat there.  Patrick’s boss ropes him into cooking the foods for them and then fires him.  He finds a job almost immediately cooking for some elites.  He keeps coming home to Princess Jessica in his house.  He feeds her and she keeps coming back.  When food poisoning sweeps through Dallas, Patrick tracks down what is causing it to keep Jessica safe.  Jessica is determined to piss off all the members of congress by not being a baby factory to give them the male heir they want.  She wants Patrick and she will have him.

This is marked as book one but it came out well after the series was established and is a prequel.  I very much wanted to love this story as I love Jessica and Pat in Null and Void.  However, as I’ve said with other books by Susan Copperfield there are so many scenes that can be cut out and have a more cohesive and better book.  I don’t know if the author doesn’t want to cut or people are just being yes men to her but she needs to edit her books.  You don’t need to have every minute detail left in the book to have a good book.  You have to have a book that makes sense throughout.  I liked seeing how Jessica and Pat got together but it seemed like the only reason they get together was because he cooks for her and it would horrify her parents.  There didn’t seem like any other connection.  If you cut out all the drivel it was nice to see what lead to their marriage.
