Feels too forced

Dane meets Julia when he checks her out singing at a lounge.  He wants to hire her to sing at his new hotel, and offers her a job hard to refuse.  She is thinking it is almost too good an offer and those tend to be bad.

Julia is wary, and her best friend talks her into taking it since these offers never come along in most lifetimes.  Dane is warned off her, after admitting she is beautiful to his siblings, and reminded not to mix work with pleasure.

The story itself is a solid one.  I liked the characters and how they interacted with one another.  I just felt the book itself to be too wordy and focused away from the main point of the story too many times.  I felt the story was about a 2/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
