Ghahhhh! What utter idiocy. I don't like the misunderstanding trope, but this pushes it to the extreme - not just a misunderstood explanation, but a refusal to explain something that she knows is a hot-button issue to him. She could have given a nice clear explanation in the time it took her to say 'It's not what you think' twice over. Plus the wild attraction=true love trope, also pushed to an extreme - I really don't need page after page of 'he touched her here and she touched him there'. She actually managed to make foreplay boring. And generally really stupid dialog - I can't tell whether it's (supposed to be) a good writer correctly expressing the words of some really stupid characters, or a poor writer trying to express deep thoughts - or both, a poor writer expressing the words of dumb characters, which is the answer I'm leaning toward as I slog through the last third. It's taking me forever to read it because I can't stand to read as much as a chapter at a time. I _will_ finish it, though, just to be absolutely certain I gave it every chance. Ghahhh. And it all ends with the realization that wild sex is the Right Thing. Wow, that was bad. Absolutely no payoff for the slogging. ( )

It was a bad time to be the good girl...

Debutante Renee Riley's getaway weekend at the Final Destination Ranch had brought the dutiful virgin up close and personal with the man of her dreams - six-feet-plus of pure, unbridled sex appeal.

But Garrett Fortune was no ordinary cowboy. Renee was sure he could teach a woman all sorts of things. Still, she was a week away from marrying Mr. Wrong - unless she could lasso Garrett's heart.
