Review: Pretty good but it could have used more character development

I have mixed feelings about this book as well as this author.  I actually really liked both main characters and for the most part their story was pretty good.  What I didn't like, and what has long been a problem for me with this author, is that she spends too much time on secondary stories that have no bearing whatsoever on the main story.  I truly believe that Kate Perry is a wonderful writer but it seems to me that her characters are never fully flushed out because she ALWAYS has a secondary story.  Rosalind and Nick had so much potential but unfortunately you don't hear much discussion about their lives.  Rosalind lives all the way in San Francisco and is a wedding dress designer and Nick is a Formula One driver for goodness sake!  There is sooooo much to talk about here but the two characters never discuss their lives, yet they fall in love.  The characters in the secondary story were very interesting and probably deserved their own story, but instead they were thrown into this one.  This made no sense to me because neither of the main characters knew these people so it added zero benefit to the content of the story.After all this you may ask why I spent the money on the book.  Well...it was on sale for $.99 and I was entertained.  But throughout the whole thing I kept wondering when the main characters were going to have a real conversation about their lives.
