Review: It could have been better

I really had high hopes for this after reading "Love Left Behind", which I loved, so when I came across this book, I didn't expect the same thing, but close to it. I was kinda disappointed. Fated had me frustrated. Lauren frustrated the heck out of me. Talk about one of the most annoying heroines (sorry), like I'm sorry, I've read h's like her, that can't make up her mind, "I want you, then I don't, let's have sex, now we have to stop having sex". Why do authors do this?? It frustrates me!! Yes, make the heroine perfect, not perfect, fine, but annoying, a tease, silly, "a young 'I'm smarter than the much older man but not really' girl" just takes the cake! I get that Lauren wanted boundaries at work, but don't then sleep with Caden, then when he wants sex, set boundaries when he can get it!! Like that was just so silly!! She was just so wishy washy with her feelings. Caden was hard-pressed in the beginning, but I started to like him. But I never warmed up to Lauren! She kept the poor man on a string to me!! With a title like "Fated" I expected more romance, angst, something! All I got was a back & forth struggle between Caden trying to convince Lauren to want him, & Lauren saying yes, then no, yes, then no LOL I mean it has it's moments (a few) but I won't be putting myself through this again haha
