Review: Too Fast, Too Contrived, And Too Immature.

I started reading this book with high hopes, but they were quickly dashed. Within four pages the hero "feels something different" about this woman.  Four pages and all they've said so far was "Hi."It's a hook-up and they've not discussed anything more than where they're going to do it.  And he's hooked.Now, unless you get the idea that I don't believe in love at first sight or even lust at first sight, you'd be wrong. I, myself, have been hit with the love at first sight bug, and relish the relationship that came from it.  Still, in this author's hands, the depth of emotion never came across.I just felt TOLD that they both felt this way, and bam, the story moves forward with foregone conclusions.  The writing was immature, and even if there were only two glaring editorial gaffes, it felt like I was reading a short story written by a high school senior, not by an award winning author.And the five-minute conversation...almost any created angst could have been resolved if either protagonist had simply opened his/her respective mouths and spoke like the adult they were supposed to be.Unless convinced by a reading buddy, I won't be reading anymore of Ms. Marsh' s work.Oh, and finally, if the two protagonists are in their thirties, as was hinted in the story, then what's with the cover?  Aren't there enough good looking couples in their thirties, or are we all at the risk of being cast as twenty-something's?
