I finally broke down and read this book  because I read and enjoyed the later books of this series & wanted to know how this series started.  Months ago I was unimpressed with the sample.  I really should have trusted my initial instincts and not bothered.Bottled Up is too clique and fairy tail to be believable.  All the good guys are just a bit too good, and the bad guys downright evil.  Why can't an ex-boyfriend just be that an ex, not a psycho or a member of the mob.  Bobby entirely too grateful for his new life, he doesn't act like any teenager I know.  What bothered most was many of the details & the lack of character depth?  Why does a 16 year old need a suit to go to a art opening?  How on earth did they fit that entire itinerary into one afternoon trip to Chicago. Why does Sam (a policeman) have a gorgeous house on the Lake?  Where did Sean get the experience to be so knowledgeable in wine?  And that adoption, how did it ever happen so fast.
