OMG!  This child-woman was a total pain in the A**!She proclaims repeatedly that she doesn't need anyone/any man to help her because she is so very independent.  She's lived on her own since she left for college w/o any help (except for the financial help from her parents which she says doesn't count). She has her own money and her own direction.  She is woman, hear her roar...  What a crock!Anxious to start her new life "up north", she leaves warm and toasty Las Vegas, alone, driving north to Reno during the winter and doesn't anticipate that, HELLO, it's going to be very cold and probably snowing.  She does not have snow chains on her car or with her just in case. She doesn't wear appropriate winter gear, although she has a lightweight coat in the backseat.  She does not know where she is going to live or to work when she gets to Reno. She doesn't even really know where she is going as she drives. Her GPS and her cellphone don't get a signal because of the weather and the lack of cellphone towers. Smart? Nope.She's no rocket scientist and she is no planner! She is, she says, independent. Her biggest assertion is that she has sworn off men.  Doesn't need them, doesn't want one.  Right...This "dipstick" loses control of her car in a snowstorm and plows into a snowbank resulting in car becoming inoperable. I don't think she's bothered to maintain it very well.  SHE'S OTHERWISE VERY INDEPENDENT.She is forced to try to walk to a town for help wearing fashionable but totally impractical boots (I don't know why I picture high heels).  Luckily, a handsome hunk of a guy happens by as she is walking. He almost runs her stupid behind down as she walks in the middle of the road in the blinding snowstorm. He offers to help her out of her predicament.  Is she grateful? Does she say "Oh thank you, kind Sir"? Are you kidding?!  She asks like a ...  I understand her wanting to be cautious but she's just obnoxious. She is a complete whiny B**** with no sense of gratitude or humility.  She acts like he owes her something.He lets her stay at his very nice house. He helps her with her injury (oh, I forgot to mention that Ol' Girl had sprained her ankle while walking). He feeds her his food. He basically takes all of her crap with a grain of salt.  All the while, she has convinced herself that he just wants to have sex with her.  Get over yourself, Sister!  Your Kitty Cat is not that precious!  Oh, I hate her!They end up stranded for like a day and a half. She keeps trying to convince herself that she doesn't want to jump him. She eyeballs his package and his body lustfully. Imagines touching him and worries whether he has a girlfriend.  She snoops through his house and when she gets caught, SHE gets an attitude!  Great goggly-moogly!  She is a piece of work.This story is a piece of erotica, so of course, they have to have sex.  He doesn't force himself on her and he gives her the option not to do it.  Of course she's all over his man-candy w/o hesitation or any thought of future consequences all night long.  For some reason, she tries to make it seem like this is some big love affair (in her head).  She lingers in his bed hoping that they'll have more sex.  When this doesn't happen she gets upset.  Then, she feels used. Huh? What?Come on Lady, at least own your S***!The next day, the snowstorm is over. Time to get back to reality, right?  The guy feeds her a good breakfast (which she barely eats 'cause he's mistreated her). He takes her back to her car. He gets a tow truck. He helps dig her out of the snow. He offers to foot the bill. He even tries to suggest (subtly) that she could stay while her car gets repaired...Is she grateful? Are you kidding?  She decides that he is trying to get rid of her (since he didn't try to beg her to stay with him or proclaim his undying love for her).  Once again, she acts like a snarky whiny spoiled brat! Classic!I won't be reading the other two books.  This is not because the writing is poor--- it isn't---in fact, it's a testament to how well the author was able to develop the female character's personality.  If you can stand this girl, then read.  If you're like me, you'll "Just Say No".
