I normally really enjoy reading M.L. Briefs books, but not this one. The main reason being that I could not stand Kate, the main heroin from this story. There was nothing about her to admire much less like about her. She was immature, rude and lacked the manners that even most children possess. I get what the author was trying to get her character to be like, but she went about it the wrong way. Sure Kate and the hero butted heads every step of the way, but how the author went about that for Kate made her extremely unlikable. Examples: she accidentally runs him over while backing her car up. Instead of taking responsibility for it, she shifts the blame to him by thinking up some stupid insane thought, to maker herself innocent of what she had done, that "he" is some type of scam artist and had her run him over on purpose. Then there was the time that she kneed him hard in his nuts as he saves her from falling backwards down the stairs, by grabbing her wrist and pulling her away from the stairs. What does she do once she kneed him after he saves her? She runs off. Then there was the incident that she acts like a complete child when hero asks her to buckle up when they get into his car and she refuses to! Her reply being (get this) her reply was telling him that his driving must be bad if he thought she needed her seat belt on! Hello! These are just a few of things that had me disgusted with her. I had to force myself into keep reading this book. The story itself was good, but all the characters needed to be fleshed out more and as for Kate... Again I understand that the author wanted her h/h to but heads and clash, but the "how" she did that for Kate should have been thought out a lot more. There is a way to make h/h clash and butt heads AND be funny, without making either one of them into rude and thoughtless jerks.
