This book was a waste of time but since I always finish a book I start in hopes that as I read along it will get better I finishd it. Unfortunately this book was completley bad. The premise a college student Ella from Boston goes on vacation to Del Mar California while jogging runs into a pole (that's right a pole) and the hero of the book Ryder helps her up. Ella and Ryder exchange seuxal barbs and she goes back to Northeastern University in Boston graduates as valedictorian takes a job in Del Mar California as a literature teacher. I know the economy is bad but this move seems extreme and not financiailly plausible. On her first day of work in CA Ella  goes to a bar the Wilde Ride and finds the bartender is the man from the previous year who helped her after she ran into a pole (That's right a pole)She becomes captivated by him during which a neighboring motorcycle gang comes into the bar and a fight ensues. Ryder tells Ella that since this gang is dangerous and now knows of his interest in her ( an interest that is witnessed for a couple of minutes) she needs to come home with him for her protection. You getting the picture ridiculous!! Ella is portrayed as a virginal innocent lady. She has a potty mouth wants to have sex with Ryder immediatley (hard sex)  her words the premise is not believable. To make matters worse there is no character developement in the story. The best part of the book was the Epilogue because the book was almost over and we were able to get Ryder's POV. If the author would have spent less time on gratuitous sex and more time creating thought provoking characters and believable plot maybe this book would have been better. Oh joy there is a sequel. So if your into lack of plot, lack of believable characters, tons of salacious sex and a story that drags on get this book.
