Dixie is a widow who goes out on a first date with a California visting architect, Quin, and promptly sleeps with him. Now, I have no problem with chemistry and then the characters having sex. But there was no chemistry between these characters in this book. The first thing he says about her is "Who is the bimbo?" Who does that when they don't even know the person. She was doing nothing to have that judgement. She was serving food from her food-truck.

There was no push and pull other than Quin's internal issues over Dixie fitting into his world. He seems to go from wanting model thin, what he considers highly educated women, to Southern Belles who live on ranches. Just because she didn't finish college, doesn't mean she's stupid and the author's inference that she is is appalling to me.

How some woman get's Dixie's number off his phone and calls to leave a message is beyond me. How did she get his phone? When did he take a photo of Dixie? And when did he discuss Dixie with this person?

At one point Dixie asks Quin if he's ever been in love and he tells her no. Then later in the story the author has him thinking about the one person he allowed himself to fall in love with and was hurt by.

The story was just all over the place.
