Review: Really poorly written

This is a story of Yasmin, a college student struggling to keep her deceased parents' bookstore afloat, and Scott, a wealthy software designer. They meet at her store and he is rude and dismissive, as a previous relationship has left him with MAJOR trust issues. However, there is a spark between them that they can't resist for long and soon enough, they don't.This story takes place in Las Vegas but there really wasn't any reason for it to be there. Scott and his very wealthy family have just moved there from Chicago but it seems a weird choice for them. I understood why they wanted to get away from the tragedy that took the lives of two family members, but architecture and computer software design seems more San Francisco than Vegas.Anyway, that's not really the problem with this book.The problem with this book is how poorly it is written. It's predictable, the action is overly detailed and the plot is really shallow. The dialogue is wooden, at best--does not come off as natural prose--yet another book where nobody seems to use a contraction and they all give incredibly LONG speeches every time they speak. The characters were fairly one dimensional and even similar to each other (his brothers were almost indistinguishable--only by their occupations could I remember who was who.)And they never really explained Scott's computer program. Is it an app or what? So it just helps you find a book? Doesn't the search engine on Amazon do the same thing? It just didn't seem all that revolutionary to me--not enough for so much of the plot to hinge on it.  Had everything else been ok, this would have been a minor point. Instead, it became yet another inconsistency in the story that annoyed me.Even the sex scenes between Scott and Yasmin are boring and awkward. 56% of the way through this book (according to my kindle app) I SERIOUSLY considered ditching it. The ONLY reason I read the rest was to write this review.Truthfully, a painful read. When I find myself thinking as I read, "Oh hell, they're going to have sex again," that's really not a good sign.So I would not recommend this book and I will not be reading any more in this series.Waste of money.Can kindle books be returned?
