Nope. Couldn't get past her stealing the money. There was NO excuse. She shouldn't have even entertained the idea of asking for a loan after ONLY just having had sex with him for the first time. I can completely understand him thinking that she was only after his money at that point. And his pressing charges. She should have called her sister back and told her the truth, that she didn't have the money after all. Or she could have asked her boss/lover for ADVICE on how to handle things. If HE had decided THEN to loan the money, that would have been fine. But just in those few first pages, the story just turned my stomach too much.
