Under Average

I found this book extremely cheesy, but given the genre, I can't say it wasn't expected.

What was lacking, however, was character consistency, a probable storyline and characters who act their own age. The romanced couple spend the majority of the story insulting each other, and while I fully understand the premise of this, it does come across tired and very much like teenagers. I would have preferred to have a few mature characteristics thrown in, considering they're both over thirty.
Then there's the narration.
The female narration is a typical American It-Girl's voice, which is understandable given the character. However it is incredibly annoying.
The male narration is the worst. By far. Actually I want to burn my ears a little after this. He sounds like a stripper cowboy, which yes, probably does reflect the character well. The biggest annoyance though, is his pace. The man rushes through his every sentence like he's had six coffees right before. He's too fast, too hyped up, always basically yelling his internal monologue (and I do mean ALWAYS) and then when he finally does take a breath to play his daughters or similar, his 'female' voice is insulting at bare minimum.
I found the storyline lacking in substance - and I KNOW this is not a substantial genre of book - but I really did find it very bland.
There are better books out there in this genre and personally I wouldn't bother with this one.
