Age of Consent

by Victoria Gordon

This time he was part of the problem

Helen was jobless and broke. So naturally Dane Curtis offered to help, as he always had in the past.

"I knew you were a walking disaster area," Dane teased when they reached his farm in Tasmania. "But I didn't expect you'd never grow out of it." Which left Helen little room to reveal her latest predicament.

She no longer had a simple adolescent crush on Dane. And considering the aspirations of the beautiful Marina Cole, not even Dane could help her now.

Big age difference and lots of arguments. Not my cup of tea

[Petra Grayson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another 80's Harlequin for me. This one wasn't quite as much of a soap opera. Some of the time, I wasn't sure what the point was. I couldn't really figure out where the tension was coming from. I mean, they probably could have had one conversation and decided it was fine for them to be together, end of story. Instead, the hero is very silent. Says nothing. Sometimes it seems like the only time he comes out of his office is to kiss the heroine, say that shouldn't have happened, and then disappear again. I was glad the heroine was working out stuff in her own life - taking charge of herself and figuring out what she wants. But I just didn't see much attraction between the two.

La historia no iba mal... ¡hasta se acercar al fin! El autor ha hecho un lío terrible, los protagonistas cambian de personalidad del nada y para nada. Hasta el viaje de Dane hacia Melbourne, el hecho de la diferencia de edad entre él y Helen, la amistad de ella con el matrimonio en el pasado, los celos de la bella Marina... todo tenía un sentido en la historia, era parte de ella y de su desarrollo. Después, los protas actuan de manera distinta de la primera parte sin que puedas comprender porque. No hay nada que justifique los cambios, hecho que estropea la historia. A lo mejor he conocido un poco más de Tasmania.
