Review: Barely finish it

The book looked promising at the start.  Funny start when Henna was mistaken for a hooker, well also because of how she acted.  But knowing that she is a reputable doctor added to the humor and the best part was she went along with it.  It was also funny how Eduardo soon found out that she is in Bermuda for the same reason as his.  I thought it will be awkward from there and Henna will go back to her old controlling self.Then it went nosedive for me from thereon.  If you would surmise, the entire love story of Henna and Eduardo will not take around 5 chapters give or take.  It was their steamy love scenes that occupied most of the pages.  At the early part, the appeal was there and you will be pushed forward to see what happens next.  However, for me, after few chapters, I realized the book is not going anywhere.  All Henna and Eduardo did was make love and experiment.  I know she is a Gynecologist and knows what she was doing when she experimented on things with Eduardo.  But that's just it.  I don't understand how a sound doctor and a 44 year old millionaire were acting so juvenile as if they have been repressed of passion their entire life.  The repetition of `destiny' has become so mundane.  Halfway through the book I lost interest.  Not even the secondary characters helped.  Fatima is disgusting, but what's more disgusting was that Eduardo and Leo who became her lovers.  Gloria is a brat.  I am confused with Sam, really isn't he gay?  The ending was too rush, as if the author was given an ultimatum of 10 pages to wrap up everything and therefore rushed to it.  The ending was not even sweet.I am pretty disappointed with the book but looking at the other reviews with 5 stars I bet there will be a lot of other readers who would want to read the book anyway.  So I don't think a recommendation will be missed.
