That is true. I read Highlander Claimed by Juliette Miller recently and it was in 1st person. Unfortunately in that case it didn't work as well for me. But that was a combination of the 1st person and the heroine being a bit of a doormat and I guess part of how it was written. Don't know, I never can find the right words to describe things that bug me or why.

I am not a huge fan of 1st person, but it can be enjoyable to me if its done right. Many of the UF I read are 1st person and it works on those. I guess that is the writer skill.
But yeah, I don't see it much in HR at all.
ACK! Nooooooooo. I hate first person. I didn't even look inside, just one-clicked and shut down, then fell asleep playing a game on my tablet without even getting a chance to read.

Thanks for the warning, so I won't pitch my Kindle across the room in a fit of pique when caught off-guard.
