Love Wild and Fair

There is just something about a Bertrice Small book that draws me in. I just can't read enough about these strong women and the men that love them.

Cat
At first, you might think that Cat is a spoiled brat. You may be right but I think she just wants what any woman wants. She wants to be loved for herself. She doesn't want to be someone's possession or used like she is nobody important. The more I read, the more I liked her. She is a strong woman who survived more than most women have. Characters like her are why I love reading. I love a strong heroine and I enjoyed this one.

Patrick
I first I really liked Patrick but then he did some really stupid, unforgivable things. I found that I liked him whole lot less afterward. I honestly show more couldn't feel sorry for him.

Francis
Now here is a hero that I can root for. He is kind and honorable and knows how to treat a woman.

King James
I found him utterly distasteful. He is spoiled and cruel. I found his machinations quite despicable and found very little to like about this character.

The Ending
As much as I enjoyed disliking some of the characters, I love others ones just as much. I loved the author's story telling. She takes a time period where women had it rough and she threw in some very strong characters. I love that Cat didn't break. She was determined to be happy with the man she chose to love. I can't get enough and I am sad that there will be no more. show less
