Who edited this?...Mr. Magoo? Jesus Christ.

“For heaven’s sake, Cale. Ryah’s not a child. She’s nearly eighteen, and she looks fantastic. Tell her she looks fantastic.”
“But I wish you’d waited till she was older before dressing her like a showgirl.”
“Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who thinks a woman in revealing clothes is asking for it.”

Because she is a child you weirdo! She's 17. The 30 year old hero is the only one who seems aware.

I'm having a few issues with this book. I can't really tell the time period in which this story takes place. Also, the age difference between the main characters is concerning, especially since Ryah is only 17. I'm assuming nothing will actually happen until she turns 18, but it still bothers me that he is in his 30s.
