I wanted to like it, I really did, but the stupidity of some of the characters was just too much to bear. The characters are painfully underdeveloped. The main characters felt like tropes. The villain so obvious he should have been wearing neon colors, twirling his mustache, and recruiting for the Evil League of Evil. It felt like there was no depth, no nuance, no substance to anyone.

The plot felt like bad melodrama. It felt artificial, and contrived, and I didn't buy into any of it. There was zero chemistry between the couple. None, nada, zip! I don't know why either of them was attracted to the other, and I just didn't care about anyone, or anything. I really like this author, but this was a miss for me.

I think I'm going to like this quite a bit."

Richard Derus Even a miss is as good as a mile when Merrow is an "English person who refuses to drink tea." I have a small shrine honoring her next to my coffee-making supplies.
