Review: Stilted writing & predictable plot

Firstly I have to say that the title was very misleading because Marco is an undercover agent and whether or not he has millions is completely irrelevant to the story. The plot was very predictable - as some of the other reviewers have said, I guessed where the diamond was very early in the story. It was ridiculous that Marco could not have figured that out until the very last moment, especially since he is an experienced agent and has probably seen criminals try all kinds of ruses before.Anne was annoying for being so incredibly naive and, as another reviewer mentioned, crying at the drop of a hat. She sounded so immature she could have been 18! The writing in general was stilted and didn't captivate me or draw me into the story. Nothing I read made me care about either Anne or Marco, especially because they lived so much in their own heads. I didn't sense any chemistry between the two of them; the emotions didn't come through in the writing. For once I didn't even care whether the couple would get a HEA! (But it is a romance, of course they do).
