Another Harlequin come and gone. I waffled between 2 and 3 stars but ultimately decided to be generous, mainly because I like Flora Kidd's writing style over some writers of these. The main character is okay but she's too weak willed with the hero, who is basically an insensitive jerk from start to finish. Their bond wasn't realistic - surely after 9 years the emotion fades? And if it were strong enough to endure nine years, surely one of them would have checked up on each other after the show more small misunderstanding during the first year before they both wed others? And neither had children for nine years after marriage? Despite that, for a Harlequin I'm gifting it a three star rating since it's not awful compared to others. Dialogue grew tiresome but the writing worked well enough. show less
This one had the potential to be better. The storyline was interesting but it didn't hang together very well. It was almost as if too much was crammed in. So some important stuff was skimmed over. Plus the heroine was one of those spunky in a stupid way girls.
Not bad. One of those books that makes you wonder what the female character actually sees in the man when he's been a total jerk to her the whole time.
