Query: Wake Me When The Story Starts

The book was slow and ponderous. I was intrigued by the plot, because really, I don't think I've read a romance where the hero shoots the heroine. I wanted to see how Blake intended to write herself out of that corner.Slowly. Very Slowly.I tried to see the sparkage between Roan and Donna/Tory, but it didn't work for me. There was so little danger after the opening gambit, and Donna/Tory spent so much of the story bored out of her skull, that I was bored as a result. There was also the implausibility that a woman of logic and above average intelligence didn't know how to hire her own attorney and establish herself as both mentally competent and in charge of her personal affairs.Alas, I couldn't get past such obvious things, and with Blake creating a story that's slow, languorous and syrupy, I kept reaching for the cattle prod--just to move things along.
