Another for my Daphne Clair jag I've been on. This one was middle of the road. It had some good moments and some not so good moments. The good was that the hero loved the heroine but she just couldn't see it. So that was the bad too. Was she blind? That hero stuck through some pretty awful stuff. Granted she had some OW jealousy issues to deal with that made her act out but still she was pretty harsh. He was somewhat cryptic with her also. He skirted around telling her that he loved her. He should have just gone for it earlier. I'm giving this 3 star read an extra star for the hero's declaration of love. He was 100% ballsy when he admitted his love to the heroine. He was in despair and in no way expected her to reciprocate. He just basically told her he'd love her even if she beat him every day with a bat and would never leave her of his own accord. I'm paraphrasing just a bit. ;-)

Worth reading just for that scene. ( )
