Query: Not worth my time

I absolutely love a good romance. I will even suffer through slow starts in the hopes that a book will improve. I put this book down and returned to it FOUR times, each time hoping that I would not get lost in the scenes that went on and on, FOREVER. Sadly, it was not to be.I didn't make it past page 100, nor will I attempt to do so again.My complaints? The prose that was stilted, the lack of character development, and the almost immediate fixation that Colton had for Adrianna's beauty and NOTHING else.My biggest complaint? There were a thousand and one references in those first 100 pages back to the when Colton knew Adrianna before he took off. The continuous references to the type person she was and her feelings for Colton and how his rejection affected her was simply ridiculous. She was SIX years old!!!!! True, there were hints at the person she would become, but not nearly to the extent that Ms. Woodiwiss dwells on this. It was tedious and very unbelievable.
