Our hero had a great dry wit but I felt it bled over to his personality too much, he was dry as toast. I love me some strong independent women but in romance books, I do tend to like them to come with a hint of vulnerability, which I didn't feel here. She's great with her take charge attitude and confidence but there was a "I'm doing it my way because no other way could be right" that made me jerk back. You know the way that a lot of people feel about Lillian from Kleypas' It Happened One Autumn (I personally like her)? That's the way I felt about this heroine, she just rubbed me the wrong way. A lot of friends loved this book but I just could not connect to the couple.
