I am one of those readers that likes to give authors that at first read disappoint, a second or even a third chance. As of right now, it looks like I'll be giving this author closer to four or even five chances because once more I had a hard time liking this story and especially the heroine. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face!

Everything from plot to characterization defied logic and if I can't connect to something or someone in a story, the author will loose me. And that's what happened here.

I am sorry to say that I just can't recommend this story, however, like I said, I will not give up on this author and will probably give her a couple of more chances.
