Review: Reads like a bad Harlequin romance.

Jennifer Blake is an author I'm familiar with.  I've read some of her historical romances and several are worth the read.  Unfortunately, this Blake contemporary reads like a kitschy Harlequin, complete with an Italian millionaire (or is it billionaire?), a man who's hugely chauvinistic and overbearing.  The heroine is a bit of a ninny, never initiating actions on her own, just reacting to what comes her way.  The two do not trust each other or even like each other much and that makes their almost continuous inner musings about wanting to have sex with the other really annoying.There's a car accident involving the heroine's brother and the hero's sister, which leaves the H's sister in a coma and the h's brother hurt. How did the accident happen?  Is the brother at fault?  Read to find out, if you care.  Personally, I couldn't work up much interest and did not like any of the characters, nor did I find the dialogue particularly smart or interesting.  Overall, this is a mediocre romance from an author that I had not previously considered mediocre.
