Review: The heroine got on my nerves

I thought this story had a good plot line.  The characters got in the way of the story.  The heroine is a single mother of a 6 yr. old boy. The kid would speak like a 30 year old one minute and a 2 yr. old the next. I wonder if the author has ever been around a 6 yr old.  The heroine spent her time either "with tears in her eyes" or chewing her bottom lip. She was so over the top where the kid was concerned that I was amazed he was not more of a brat. She owns her own business and it is going down the tube. She has no idea what to do to save it.  Now, she is sitting with a very wealthy, successful BUSINESS CONSULTANT and he is giving her tips, or he tries to give her tips, to save her business.  She blows up, she knows how to run a business, blah blah blah.  Is she stupid on top of everything else?  She could get some free advice and possibly save her business and their income and she tells him to bug off. Yes, she is stupid.  The hero was good.  He treated the kid like a kid and actually had better parenting skills than she did.  The dialog was just too much for me.  The heroine acted like a shrew the whole book. She agreed to the vacation with the hunk to help out a friend and then from that point on was mad at the world and everybody in it. She acted like he was after her! R U kidding me, with that personality and her 12 yr. old behaviour, WHY would a rich, gorgeous hunk be after her???  It was all I could do to finish this one,  Several times I wanted to just give up but kept hoping that she would grow up, let the kid be a kid, and go for the hunk.  I'm sure some folks will enjoy this one, just not me.
