Review: Ok for sex scenes, but I was annoyed with the story.

Early in the book I was thinking “this better not be the reason for the big separation,” but it was.  See Spoiler.  Aside from that, the events felt like things written in so many other romance novels.  It wasn’t new or special or different.  This is a short story, half the length of a regular novel.CAUTION SPOILERS:Colt asks best man Logan to spend time with Sophie.  She is shy and avoids social events.  So Logan seeks her out and keeps her company.  Logan does not tell Sophie that Colt asked him to do this.  Logan really likes her and they quickly begin having sex.  The big conflict: Sophie overhears Colt thanking Logan for being with her.  Sophie stomps off and avoids Logan.  She refuses to let him explain.  She thinks he was with her out of pity, not desire.  I was angry.  I’m willing to accept this plot device, but do it in a different way.During a dance class while Sophie is dancing with someone else, gorgeous girl Regan asks Logan to dance.  He is being polite.  Regan kisses him on the cheek.  Sophie sees this and is furious because she assumes Logan now likes Regan instead of her.  Felt too predictable, not interesting.END SPOILERS.Some readers may find the following clever and fun, but because I was annoyed with the above, I was not in a  mood to enjoy it.  Sophie initiated and had sex with Logan while he was on a speaker phone conference call with business associates.  The business associates’ comments “we just kept massaging the deal until everyone felt good about it.  Do you feel good about it, Logan?...You sound very passionate...So if you look down here at clause ten, you’ll see an example of where we hammered away, and hammered away, until they begged for mercy and gave us what we wanted....I’m sure all the parties will be extremely satisfied.  You’re satisfied, aren’t you Logan?”  All this while Logan is surreptitiously having sex with Sophie.DISCLOSURE:I received a complimentary copy (ARC) for review.OTHER BOOKS:I really enjoyed the author’s first book “Private Practice.”DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.
