I think maybe romance just isn't my genre, but this was particularly trite, due in no small part to its implausibility. I mean, do you really believe

a man who you did it with a couple times is gonna call you while you're out of the country to wish you well????

And on that note, this book, short though it was, could have started on Chapter 6 and it would have made no difference. That tells me that I found the story repetitive and shallow. I will say though, it was definitely sensual, so that bumped it up a star.
