Title: I'm "relunctant" to ever read anything by this author again
Review: This was perhaps one of the worst books I have ever read. I finished it solely out of a sense of duty (for I hate to leave something I started unfinished). The plot was thin and the characters abrasive -- especially considering that their "love" seems forged out of an obsession with the superficial. The reluctant Colton only considers pursuing Adriana because of her pulchritude and throughout the novel her beauty and his handsomeness stands as the only foundation of their relationship. In my opinion, neither have redeemable qualities except token scenes where Adriana conveniently demonstrates maternal "instincts" with local orphan children.It seems not a page goes by without Colton praising Adriana for beauty that is ostensibly not only second to none but practically rivals Venus.
