I think I've reached a reading slump. After 87 books I suppose it's to be expected. I started 3 books in the last week and none of them has grabbed me.

Spoiler:
The one the Officer I says I do that I got as my DANL selection two months ago is what I am reading now and the first thing I see is a typo on page 9 Cardsharp. I'm on Chapter 4 and it's really not that good so far. I got turned off by how the whole proposal Vegas thing is handled followed by a detailed sex scene. I really didn't expect a sex scene right off the bat. It would have been so much better to have a fade to black scene after she said yes to marriage, followed by a morning after recall of what happen next. I would of liked a better knowledge of the characters beforehand. It's just so far no real build up to the story and it's moving at a snail's pace. No real chemistry between the two then we are rushed through scenes and arrived two weeks later. I will give it a few more Chapters before I mark it as a DNF.
For what it's worth, that's not a typo...

Spoiler:
Your other complaints are valid though, and in my opinion a good summary of "most common mistakes by authors in the romance genre".
