Review: Not sure if it's a keeper,  but a pleasant distraction while you're with it...

I ordered the sample chapter and found the men a bit too sniping and snarky to each other and later realized that I had accidentally bought the book.  I decided what the hell,  may as well read it,  as it's all of $4.  Jae Sun Kim is taking some time off his one track life/career and giving himself a week of scuba diving in Belize.  Shane McCormack is the sexy Texan dive master.  Mysteriously the two have to share a cabin and unsurprisingly,  things get more involved from there... I initially found Jae Sun Kim and Shane McCormack too snippy and power playing,  and they never really got into a groove that worked for me.  The sex was good,  great for them,  pleasant enough to read,  but the relationship dynamics never really convinced me.  I found that Shane took all the risks and Jae Sun took all the power and Jae Sun definitely did not share nicely.Mild SpoilerGiving Shane one type of background and then making him so academically qualified didn't really fit either,  and that whole part didn't convince me.So I wasn't displeased to read it,  and the words all flowed in the right order and I didn't skip any of it,  and I finished it in one day.  The medical lingo felt accurate and was presented confidently. But I had fundamental problems with both characters: Shane had huge inconsistencies and Kim was so controlling that I never warmed to him.  So I never really bought into either of them.That said,  I did like it,  I just don't know if it's going into my keeper pile (though does that term even apply anymore,  to electronic books?)  Okay,  I don't know if it's going into my reread pile.
