Rating: 2 out of 5

I'm looking at all these 5 star reviews (hmmm, not purchased on Amazon), and shaking my head.  Really?  Did I read the same book?  Sure glad it was free!The biggest problem with this book is the dialogue between the characters. It was so stilted, it made me laugh in places.  The narration was better written but if you read the dialogue out loud you would just snicker! At one point I even wondered if perhaps English was not the author's primary language. The characters also come across as one dimentional, they are caricatures as opposed to characters.The 2nd problem I had was the rapidness of the story line. Their first meeting is essentially anonymous when she serves him dinner at a restaurant. He does introduce himself at the conclusion and they have words. At their 2nd interaction, a business meeting, they have a brief discussion where the "hero" describes what he is looking for in an ideal relationship.  The "heroine" basically says 'that's what I want' and they decide that they are serious about each other and they will be committed to each other. (Really?!!!) At the conclusion of this meeting, before they date, before they evan kiss, he takes her in the office to reprimand her for a mistake at work by spanking her bare behind. Personally, I think you would need to build some trust in the relationship first before you move to bareness and spanking. Just my opinion.I found little to recommend this book.
