Review: Poorly executed

I thought this sounded like a cute maybe humorous romance - it's not. The characters are not particularly likeable and the "bad guys" are so over the top ridiculous it makes the story almost unreadable. The book is riddled with inconsistencies -  for instance the father is supposed to have arranged a marriage with a blue blood family for JD, so he can get into a country club.  This is so important that when she wants to call off the wedding because her fiance is sleeping around and hits her the father threatens to use his influence to get Mike arrested on trumped up charges. Later the mother has a monologue about her blue blood upbringing. Umm if the mother is blue blood I am pretty sure the father already married into it so the whole motivation for her scrappy circumstances does not make any sense.  Plus Mike is s complete tool too - he loves her so much he stops the wedding but he can't keep it in his pants? Three hours of my life I will never have back...
