Suprisingly Disappointing

Okay, I am a BIG fan of A.C. Arthur, so I thought I'd go back and read some of her earlier works. I must say that her debut novel of 'Object of His Desire' just didn't work for me. The novel starts off with a very nice flow. And I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between Jordan and Macy. However, after their first encounter everything just seemed to move at the speed of light. And as I continued to read I found although the characters shared a heated passion and the love scenes were very HOT, that I didn't bond with them as I wanted. The dialogue was a little 'corny' and repetitive and the characters didn't have as much depth, outside of the bedroom, as I've come to expect from Mrs. Arthur. There are quite a few intriguing twist and turns throughout the story, which I found to be quite unrealistic. Having said all that, Mrs. A.C. Arthur has come a long way and I have enjoyed many of her lastest novels and look forward to reading many more of her novels.

Gosh, there was nothing compelling out about this love story/murder mystery/story of family intrigue. The best I can say about it is that there were few typos in the edition I read. Everything about this story was just moderate...moderate heroine, moderate hero. Even the villains were just average nasty people...one certifiable but just moderate in his craziness.

Not a very interesting read.
