Review: This is the new version??

The story started out strong, then got caught up in, well, boredom and hurtfulness.A serious flaw to this story is that the Hero goes away on business and CANNOT find fifteen seconds in his day to text the Heroine, or email, tweet, facebook, snapshot, skype?  He’s not a nuclear physicist saving the world, he’s an art dealer.  The Hero has apparently also never heard of sending a woman flowers, perfume, more underwear to replace the thongs he’s stolen or anything else as he is gone for a second week in a row and the new couple, who have slept together like three times, are no longer communicating.  For a Hero who initially wanted the Heroine to be “addicted” to him, suddenly as a reader you are aware that - I think it’s significant that suddenly I can’t remember the Heroine’s name - she isn’t addicted and wanting a fix, she’s relieved he’s gone; so am I as the reader – two other men are ready and willing to take our widow on a date and possibly won’t be playing mind games with her.  I have to say that I honestly felt hurt for Ryann that the same man who pursued her immediately and aggressively, having gotten sex from her, finds himself too busy to call her – again, ouch!I don’t think this is what the author wanted her readers to feel.  The problem, honestly, is that the author didn’t take the time to develop the relationship between Jeremy and Ryann – no one is going to believe that after one date to a French restaurant these two people are so in love that it is heart-wrenching and all-consuming. Ryann has found herself sexually and since Jeremy has gone rather cold on her, I as the reader want her to try out some other cuisine that might be more palatable!From other reviews from the initial release, it looks like the author has done some editing to improve the book.  So this is the new and improved version - yikes!  Still, it is a pleasant beach read and for a low price, I would say to give this a try.
