Oh boy, was this story a letdown.  It’s less than 100 pages of the actual story, finally at page 85 buildup then … nothing. The angst and break up, the Hero acting like a douche – as the synopsis said? Nada. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Trying to decide which toilet paper to buy has more interest. Borrrringggg. He decides he loves her and HEA. And the sex was not hot.My guess is that the author's friends are rating this story highly, because really? REALLY? There's nothing about the Hero's Armed Forces service - telling us about him going to training (not that we hear anything about his training) and having lunch in the PX isn't anything Army related. If the author wants to classify this as straight romance: girl gets guy by playing hard to get - then I would give this a good 4 stars, because the hero does take the heroine out on at least one date and kisses her in front of his family.Here is a direct quote from the advertised synopsis: "But just when she thinks they can make a go of it, he pulls back. She can’t do it anymore. Loving, being hurt, loving, being ignored. This time if Mike wants her, he’ll have to prove it. She’s done.And he’s just realized he might have made the biggest mistake of his life in pushing her away… "  That sounds really exciting, doesn't it? There is no loving, being hurt, loving, being ignored. There is no proving it. The heroine isn't even DONE. She says she'll take him back in the whoof buddy relationship they had for two weeks. And he doesn't think this is the biggest mistake of his life - he thinks he wants her, but he's not sure, cause she's a good whoofer and he really likes that ...Oh, just don't bother with this book.
