Diamonds in the Dust (Diamonds are Forever #1)

This doesn't read like Paul's Dubious/Consent.
DNF @ 10% coz two-dimensional characters and lacked realistic build-up as well as chemistry. Yet I’m already supposed to buy that:
#1.) rich stranger H is instantly captivated by h, when he & his 2 thugs captured her as she’s about to enter her old apartment. After asking her questions about her imprisoned brother (which she replies with "f* off") and checking out her bare and decrepit apartment, he then tells her to go out to dinner with him while “reminding (her) of her place”. That was within 5 minutes of their 1st meeting.
MY RESPONSE: *eye roll*
#2. ) captive h’s character maybe scared but she's sassy strong. What can 3 armed and physically stronger men really do to her? Well, not much compared to the strength of her defensive feistiness! Her mouthing off at them should scare them off and save her and other's lives. Right?
MY RESPONSE: *eye roll*
#3.) h was finally forced to answer H's questions about her imprisoned brother in order to save her next-door neighbor who we know nothing about (except for a brief mention that he plays video games). Why was her neighbor so important to her? Was h just a compassionate and caring person? Was her neighbor a good friend of hers? There was no story, explanation, or justification for it.
MY RESPONSE: right-click on Book and then "Move to Trash"
Moving on to another Pauls book. Hoping this was just a one-off.
