This book is another that uses British spelling, grammar and punctuation, remember it’s a bit different than the standard US writing style.I think my biggest problem is the main character, Megan. I didn’t find her to be a great person. She’s quite rude and short to everyone she seems to meet. There is mention of her going through a rough period in life over the last year or so but it’s no reason to treat complete strangers the way she does. She’s abrasive for no real reason and it made it hard for me to connect to her. Then there is the continued use of males in the story telling Megan that she can’t do something as well or something will be harder for her because she’s a female… what the heck? So she goes off on everyone, even those giving her compliments, but let’s multiple males tell her she’s a weaker creature because she’s a girl, it just didn’t make sense to me.The story is just kind of bland and boring. There was some real potential for great suspense and action, but it wasn’t utilized. The climax could have been much bigger, but it wraps up way too quickly and easily. There wasn’t even a fight, I was expecting a fight, kidnapping, gun threat, something, heck anything other than what happened. In fact I kept thinking that the threat really hadn’t been extinguished that easily and it would be back to cause more trouble, but sadly that wasn’t the case.  After the main conflict is settled there is even more silly made up stupid drama between the two main characters that was not needed. It was totally pointless.There are a few sex scenes but they are quick and unsatisfying for the reader and the heroine. There is only one sex scene between the two main characters and it’s nothing to write home about.  Plus it kind of makes the dude a cheater which made it even harder for me to really relate to either of them. I wasn’t feeling the whole, ‘I can’t deny my feelings for you anymore’ vibe I think the author was trying to give off.Then the absolute worst thing happens, and I’m going to tell you what it was because 1.) It’s one of my biggest pet peeves and 2.) because it’s a pet peeve of mine I think everyone deserves to be warned about it when it happens. The story wraps up way too soon. There is no time for the couple to be together and no epilogue either. Literally they don’t get together until the last page. The LAST page! I’ve read stories where authors take the reconciliation right to the end, but I’ve never read one that went to this extreme, it’s a whole new level. We have no actual time in the story of the two main characters even being in any kind of relationship. How can you fall in love with a couple that actually never happens??Overall this story just didn’t cut it for me.
