Review: Cover Great, Story Not So Much

I guess I fell for the cover and what a great cover. This is definitely one of those "Don't judge a book by its cover" ,but It drew me in anyway like a moth to a flame and that flame was quickly doused when I got to the meat of the story.  The story started out pretty good when Regine catches Mason Spaulding in a compromising position on top of some of her finger foods (she runs a catering business).Mason Spaulding's sexuality and virility are palpable. He is so well written and I really felt a little miffed that Regine was his leading lady, she was not likable.  Strong is one thing but her character was written over the top with that strong independent persona, it became annoying as the story went on and Mason was so into her, which I couldn't' understand because he could not get past her defenses or how wish washy she was.  His falling in love with her became almost unbelievable.I know the author was trying to write from the perspective of a woman who lost her parents young (blames herself) and had to raise a younger sister with no help. I get it but her character was written without a humble bone although she had people around her that gave of themselves everyday and cared about her. I could not get past Regine and only continued to read because I liked Mason Spaulding as a leading man (albeit his questionable intelligence for continuing to pursue Regine).
