I actually appreciated not having the swear words. (I didn’t mention this in my reviews lest the label of “clean” would make some people avoid the book.) It was refreshing to me and did not detract in any way from the story.
I'm so glad to hear this. As someone who DOES swear far more often than I should (though in my defense much of this is caused by being forced to drive on the Beltway, which would make a saint swear) swearing doesn't bother me, so I didn't realize it might bother others. I'm glad I opted to take it out and it's great knowledge to have as I work on the next book. I also appreciated that my editor gave me the choice. I don't know if every editor would do that, but mine did and I love her for that :-)
