Out of total frustration, sometimes I try to guess, the percentage of romance books (of any genre) available, where the hero falls in love first, and where the heroine can hold her own with him.  By this book's description, I was hoping this story might be different.  Unfortunately for me, that was not the case.  The heroine is instantly smitten, and only after a few days (21% Kindle talk)  the thought of him leaving, made her want to cry.and soon after that she is madly in love.  The hero takes much, much longer to fall in love.POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW:Other than his looks (she did not care for wealth & position) I do not understand her blind devotion, even before they were engaged in heavy duty petting.  He openly mistrusted her, was often rude to her, and just not very nice. But from the minute she falls in love she becomes his doormat, allowing him every liberty, even eagerly surrendering her innocence, without any words of love from him, or even care, and no talk of the future.  She is willing to live for this moment alone, because she loves him madly, and she will never love again, and after he leaves her, her life will be a horror.  This coming from a well bred woman, who is supposed to be independent and strong.  At 23 she is still unmarried, despite her beauty and populartiy, because she has such high standards.  Yet the minute she falls in love, she becomes a spineles fool, very willing to allow him to dishonor, and use her any way he sees fit.  Constantly musing about her feelings for him and that he does not return them.  There have to be other readers (even if they are in the minority) who also hate this common scenario.  At least I hope so.
