I disliked this book from the first page but I tried to give it a chance.  The language felt choppy to me, the author would be going for a mood, but totally fail to catch the feeling.  For example, on the first page the main character is introduced and immediately described as "whiny and teenager-like".She is supposedly the successful manager of a 5 star resort that charges $15,000 per week, which would lead me to believe she is  intelligent and mature, yet she never comes across that way and I just couldn't like her. She is constantly reacting to situations in a childish manner, with a "gone-over-the-hill-too-fast-left-my-tummy-behind" feeling when the love interest smiles at her.The writing is inconsistent. One second she is screaming at him, and then she is intrigued by him.  I know romance novels are often about a love/hate relationship that builds and grows, but this one jumps about and things are thrown in in bits and pieces that doesn't tie the story together.She has some secret in her past she doesn't want discovered, he has been discharged from the service because his men all got killed, she has a box full of incriminating paperwork about her dead family that she drops at his feet, he hates his father for some reason...it all comes in choppy little bits.  It's meant to make you wonder why they are acting the way they are, but it's out of time, out of place, or just doesn't say enough to build drama or characterBottom line, I couldn't care enough about them to finish more than a few chapters.
