Query: How did this get published?

I can't even finish this book, I feel like I wasted my money! I can not relate to any of the characters in this book. I feel like Shane is a jerk (to put it nicely), and I can't even sypathize with Mara because she is too pathetic. Lisa Jackson should have given Mara's character some backbone, (like when Shane takes over her office she should have kicked him out for invading her personal space, Instead she just lets him take over.) Anyway, I just wanted to vent because I really do feel like this book is a waste of time and money.
