 DNF@50%. I have a big problem with the overall writing, and this, I believe, is the main reason why I could not appreciate the story. The writing was just bland and uninspiring at best, and painfully simplistic at worst. I don't know about you, but I put such high importance in the quality of the prose, especially having read the works of Monica McCarty, Grace Draven, Elizabeth Hoyt and Lisa Kleypas. I just can't find myself investing my time and my feelings in a book that has no soul. 
 The characters were flat. The overall plot was cliche and poorly executed. The mystery was significantly overshadowed by the writer's futile attempt to make the romance natural. Everything just seemed contrived to put Sara and Ross together. Everything was just too convenient, and not natural at all. 
 I understand that some people may like this, but unfortunately, I'm not one of them.
