I liked this book as opposed to even those books that are vaunted triumphs of Judith McNaught. There was no UNNECESSARY misunderstandings between the main characters. No horrible raping and degrading like McNaught seems to do with a lot of her other heroines (ugh!). I think the heroine was understandably nervous, and the guy as well. I liked them both a lot. Ramon does exhibit an unlikely amount of patience with Katie, but that's just kudos to him if anyone can really do that. Of course the courting was short and hurried, and that she GOES with him so quickly to P R - therin lies your stretch of belief (and the quick capitulation of the parents). Both the main characters are portrayed as extremely beautiful or handsome, with their own vulnerabilities, which I thought is really sweet.
