Review: Couldn't force myself to finish it

I only made it through 4 chapters in this book and couldn't go any further.  The book started out well enough, and I wanted to like the characters, but I didn't connect with them. Maribel came off so boring.  She spends all her time alone reading even when her friends invite her out, and after closing on Valentine's weekend when the rest of the staff is dancing together, she just cowers by the register. I'm sorry, but there was nothing remotely interesting about her. When Miles offers her wine, she turns up her nose and forces herself to taste it, and when he introduces her to a new dish, she refuses to even try it like the bore that she is. Meanwhile she has absolutely no problem wearing the expensive jewelry he bought her. There was just no reason why this gorgeous billionaire was interested in her.Miles on the other hand, I don't know why, but I kept picturing him as an old guy (Michael Douglas or James Caan old) even though he shouldn't have been over 38.  So this image wouldn't allow me to feel any chemistry between Maribel and Miles.  Then he got several business calls throughout their time together, and he just kept answering the phone, which is just plain rude.Anyway, I just thought the characters were annoying.  I also didn't like how the story started switching POVs around chapter 2 or 3 even though it started out with each POV clearly separated, that just threw me off, and I just couldn't take it anymore.
