Query: Was expecting something much better

I was unfamiliar with Sandra Brown but was encouraged to see that she is a number one bestselling author. However, I found this book fairly bland and boring. As others have pointed out, it's rather dated, but I didn't mind that. What I minded was the repetitiveness, for one thing. It seemed like there were endless scenes that were basically the same thing over and over. We can't be together! But we must! But we can't! Passionate lovemaking, rather Harlequin romance-esque, followed by the main character, Shelley, running away and vowing never to see her love again.I won't give away the ending, but I'll just say that to me, it lacked any interesting plot development or anything that could really get me involved in the story.
