This was not a romance, this was a tall tale.  The women and men were physically larger than normal people.  There was nothing they couldn't do.  She rose out of poverty to work in the oil fields like a man.  She's rough and tough and could kick a dude's a$$.  She talks tough and curses and backs it up.  She's beautiful too.  Oh, she has a doctorate and speaks three languages.  I mean, come on, I half expected her to have Babe the Blue Ox as a pet.  The fact is, with all of these supposed attributes, she wasn't very likeable.  The guy is the same way.  He's huge and handsome and rich and foreign and extremely intelligent and a good guy and an alpha male, yadda, yadda, yadda.  It continued throughout the entire story.  I was over it after the first chapter.  This writing style just didn't do it for me.
