Review: really dreadful "romance" with idiotic characters
Rating: 2 out of 5

The "hero" had been dating something for FOURTEEN years but wasn't quite sure he was ready for marriage? (Even though a few pages later he declares that "From the moment he'd first met her, he knew she was to be his bride" kindle location 4268). Meanwhile, he meets a random woman and within a day is thinking of himself as a father figure to her children.Oh, and don't forget their electric touches - "a tingling shock (that) radiated up her arm and through her body, to her scalp and all the way down to her toes." (kindle 181) Barf.The clueless but immensely wealthy dolt hatches a surefire plan to get back with his ex - jealousy!  And just a few dinners aren't sufficient, they simply must go to the ball!! Again, barf.I could possibly buy into this ridiculous plot except this his "accomplice" seems to be a reasonably intelligent woman - a young widow with 2 kids.  The behaviors simply do not match up with the way the characters are presented.The ending is totally predictable AND incredibly stupid (WARNING, SPOILER AHEAD!!) a fake wedding that of course ends up being legal... and *that* somehow leads both characters to realize that they truly are in love.Mix that up with self-serving prayers (including ones for dead people) and you have a truly awful "inspirational romance."NOT RECOMMENDED.
