Review: Too Much Disbelief

First off, I have come to enjoy this author's western, mail-order bride stories fairly well. However, this story was too unreal to even be enjoyed. Firstly a girl moves in with a guy she doesn't know without a fair protest, though she was raised with values (allegedly) she gives in to booty almost before her boxes are unpacked, and there's no guilt at all (really? Southern preacher's daughter has not even a smidgen of remorse? I ain't buyin' that for a second)?Then here's the too quick, underdeveloped storyline with zero description and even less character growth. All we know about the female is she had a bitchy sister, drives a crappy car, is selflessly raising her dead sister's love child, and her father raised her a Christian in Hamlin, Texas. All we know about the dude is he is a billionaire, he's handsome, loves sports and country wear. Yeah, that's hot. Not.If you write books about people, you must lend them at least a whiff of credibility if you want us to respect the tale. And by the way, Tahiti and Hawaii are not the same. Luaus are Hawaiian. If a first book in a series can't be even remotely believable, it's not getting my return business for the rest of the series.I like a romantic fantasy story as much as the next broad, but it can't be a romantic fantasy if I can't find the romance or even the possibilities in its plot. Just making it Valentine's Day does not automatically qualify as a romantic interlude. You can't pretend what isn't there in the story.
