Reviews

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay wow - just wow. Before the ending of this book I was going to smack on a three star rating. The writing style is actually pretty good and the characters likeable enough. Until the end. Wow, that end. Let's just say that my anger would have been so extreme it would probably have burned down the building when I heard the news. The old cliche, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, would have had only a weak similarity to my wrath in that situation. First, him, but my rage, yes - RAGE, pure RAGE - would have been directed even stronger at the father. Grrrr. And then the author has it okay again? How could the heroine possibly get over that? Seriously?? Didn't the business matter to her before? All the control slid away and she didn't have a choice. Sympathy my butt, I w.....ugh. Too mad. It brought the rating down a star.

Otherwise - trying to fan the anger here - it was okay. Not too melodramatic although sometimes I wished the heroine had a bit more backbone. Not high on sensuality but it wasn't lacking either. Just, grr, the ending hurt.
