Review: Expensive for it's length and with non-existant substance

Wow, this book was terrible. From the start we are thrown into an unexplained bunch of violence that is never explained to us (apparently shooting at each other for completely unexplained reasons happens a lot between antagonist and protagonist) and seems to be there for no other reason than to push the female lead to terror. There's a bunch of allusions to God and while i normally love christian romance, i didn't feel any sort of actual belief in there, every time it was alluded to it was so over the top or theatrical it was either funny or vaguely insulting.There was absolutely no chemistry between the main characters- even the female lead thinks it's more convenient than nice, an spends 3/4th of the story bemoaning how boring and hard her life is going to be, and finally actually decided to tie the knot because she's tired of hesitating over her (inexistant) future.The antagonist's facade of niceness was so paper-thin i felt insulted as a fellow human being for the female lead's naivety, especially because she herself is constantly aware of how slimy this guy acts, tells herself she shouldn't believe him and the next time he appears it's all rinse and repeat. The antagonist is bad for no other reason than because it's required for the plot, and there's a background event that is SO VERY IMPORTANT it's constantly alluded to, and when it's finally addressed it makes the whole secrecy of the matter so utterly ridiculous you want to hit everyone unlucky enough to be part of this story.
