I got this thinking it would be a fun read but it was average at best. The heroine was grating and the hero a little bit too good for me to really like. I enjoy the snappy types of romance where the couples spar, but these scenes were forced and almost painful to read. The sex scenes were boring and unemotional, too. There was just no real pay off in this book. I paid for this one and that is the only reason I didn't abandon it. It's a Harlequin and normally a 150 ish page book would have been finished right away, but it was kind of a chore to get through this.
