Nathan Lowell: Half Share (EBook, 2010, Ridan Publishing) 4 stars

SIX MONTHS IN THE DEEP DARK. FOUR VERY DIFFERENT WOMEN. ONE MAN DISCOVERS WHAT IT …

Review of 'Half Share' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I liked the first book quite a bit, but this one has some issues. It's OK right up to where the protagonist changes departments (which is fairly early in the book) at which point it becomes "the tale of how Marty Stu discovers he has a magic butt and acquires a platonic harem."

At one point in the story, he literally changes the lives of at least three women simply by stripping to his briefs in front of them.

It's a challenge to write fiction in which there isn't a clearly defined antagonist or crisis for the protagonist to overcome, and still make it interesting. The author pulled it off in the first volume, but largely fails in this one.

I might check out the next book in the series, but this one was disappointing enough that I might not.
