A girl takes the place of her twin sister on a three weeks family vacation with the guy she was supposed to dump for her twin. OK, I can take it.
Then the guy realises it (far too late in my opinion) but decides to keep it to himself. There I started to get annoyed.
Then added that the girl, who is part owner of a billion dollar company, is the daughter of a very uber famous rockstar, is also a slaves and child soldiers savior. It is not even already half the book!! I can't!...more

A woman finds herself in a shoot out at a bar. She is rescued by a stranger who happens to be the one the bullets are aimed for and seems to work in security. He drops her off and asks her to wait until the morning to go pick her car back from the bar lot and she decides it's a good idea not to listen. After picking up her car she realises she is being followed, so she takes a turn onto a dead end street. Then sound surprise when she's shot at, going even at theatening the shooter not to shoot at her dog. I can't. Usually the TSTL heroines at least wait until half of the book before displaying some idioty right?
I will try the next books in the series only because I already have them....more

Guy has been in love with a girl for years but didn't act on it, despite knowing she had feeling for him too. Instead he dated, got engaged and had a child with another girl. Several years later, he decides to ambush his first love at her job and uses his anxiety-ridden son to get close to her, thoroughly pushing his broken life situation on her when she didn't ask for it, when the first thing he should have done was to call, apologize, come clean with his feeling and beg for an another chance instead of trying to manipulate her....more

I tried. I promise I did.
I just find the coincidence angle, as used here, to be a very lazy way to make a plot. Especially when so farfetched. Then there were the secrecy, the I-am-not-good-enough-for-her, the too kind to be believable people (Let's even put aside the fact that they open their house to two strangers and start treating them like long lost children as soon as they met them, but I mean who says, or even thinks, something like this: "you wouldn't be out if you were guilty" in reference to an ex-convict one just met?).
Basically some of my most disliked tropes mixed in one book, and not done in an enticing way for me....more

I have a really hard time with a guy getting all possessive and territorial with a girl he just met and didn't even had a full conversation with yet, and the girl letting him.

I soldiered on until half of the book. Church's actions and reasoning were just not understandable to me. I get a child, and later a teenager, having I soldiered on until half of the book. Church's actions and reasoning were just not understandable to me. I get a child, and later a teenager, having a hard time dealing with death and prejudice, but he was an adult and war veteran now, surrendered by love, and he still had all that stupid teen-angst and irrationality in him. It didn't make a pleasant book....more
