Annabelle Lee (Summersville Secrets, Book 1) by N.J. Walters - 1 star

While the male character was somewhat believable, the female character was NOT. A thirty y/o woman who has had only 1 relationship, who has the insecurities described in the book, whose parents have died, and who spent time taking care of an ill parent may have the fantasies that Annabelle Lee has, but the way she would speak and act are completely different. Her character would not be nearly as shallow and wanton as this female character. Additionally, there was NO character development - these two characters "fall madly in love" after 2 weeks of having sex, and without any kind of acquaintance before their first introduction. As IF! Romance novels do have the ability to be well written with excellent plots that are bolstered by the development of the relationship between the characters. THIS one is absolutely NOT one of them.
