I listen to a lot of romance novels, so I think my expectations are reasonable. I thought this book was pretty bad. Both characters were annoying. The male lead, because he had the maturity level of a 2 year old, and the female lead, because she put up with his behavior. The other thing that bothered me was the male narrator. He was very effeminate sounding, and I just couldn't get past it when he was supposed to be portraying this manly man. From the other reviews I've read, this isn't the best Samantha Chase book, so I'll give another a try. As long as there is a different narrator.
