GRR Reviews Waiting for you by Heather B Moore

Gwen is determined to stay single after a bad experience with the shallowness of wealth. She is fine with her waitressing job at the resort's restaurant, and plenty of hot guys asked her out... and was turned down very nicely. Not even the hot owner, Seth, will be able to tempt her... But she saw him as a rich spoiled brat playing part-time owner. But when Seth helped her through a personal crisis for her other love: volunteering to feed the poor, she found that Seth was not the person she thought him to be... Seth is actually a trained chef making sacrifices to chase his own dreams, much to his own family's disappointment. Even as Gwen reconciled with her own family, she contemplated a future with Seth... Until an overheard argument had her dreams falling apart...

Book was great right up till this point. This "overheard something" followed by "I'll just see myself out" as climax is a corny trope that just won't die in romance. Sure, Gwen likes helping people, but not to the point of hurting herself, and "i'll see myself out" is hurting herself. The ending sorta made up for it by someone else making a grand gesture.
