Query: a big disappointment

I'm a big fan of Judith McNaught's historical romance novels (Whitney My Love is my favorite romance novel of all time), so when I read this novel, I was very disappointed. The story was very slow and the characters seemed to lack personality. I think I'll stick with her historical romance novels and stay away from her contemporary romance novels. For contemporary romance, you can't beat Nora Roberts and Linda Howard.
