Review: Rules of Engagement

Rules of Engagement by Christina Dodd
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

UGH. I tried. I really tried. I got about halfway through the book, to the big sex scene, and I just got so lost. Where is the attraction between these two? He's an ass, an utter ass. She really could do better and deserves better. I skimmed the rest. I know how it ends. I still didn't feel anything for any of the characters. Beth, the foster child, was too adult. Pamela the Governess was smart, witty, and beautiful far more than Kerrich deserved. Kerrich the hero was just a let down. Nothing redeemable about him. And the flow of the book lost me, 0ne minute you're reading about a rain storm and the next they're naked and sexing. I mean I know that in romance books being trapped in the rain is the same as the pizza man showing up in a porn. . . someone is having sex soon, but dang, surely there could have been a bit more dialogue. The whole thing did not feel believable to me. I would not recommend this book.
