Wicked (St. John-Duras) by Susan Johnson
Stopping after 52 pages. I laughed a few times but the writing isn’t really working for me.
The first three stories---those by Bertrice Small, Susan Johnson, and Thea Devine---I could have lived without. Filled with purple prose, characters I found impossible to like or care about, melodrama, and a surfeit of ITALICS, they seemed more a waste of time than an enjoyable escape. So the three stars I've rated this book are entirely due to Robin Schone's story---a tender, honest, moving example of the genre.
A bit of an improvement on Captivated, but Robin Schone's story is still the only one that really deserves those three stars.
This book started off good, but dovetailed quickly after our lovers face their first obstacle. The ranch wars went on too long, and I didn't care that much about them. Once Jo, the heroine of the story, had been kidnapped to become a sex slave for the bad guys, I was through with this book. I skimmed the remaining pages, and nothing about the end redeemed the middle. I am so disappointed.
