The Last Mercenary

I only read the DP one of these books. It was better than most of DP's work for me and that was because there was more action I think. There were also several spots where the hero said some lovely things to the heroine. On the other hand it had the usual problems that I find with this author. The story lines always sound good but the execution fails for me. Things happened really fast. By that I mean that a situation would arise and be instantly solved on the next page. She's kidnapped! Never mind, the hero saves her 12 hours later. She hears the hero say something pretty bad about her. Lots of room for angst and misunderstands and trauma but no she immediately faces the hero with what she hear and that trauma is over. And at the end show more the hero know she pregnant evidently because he has super sperm and just knows since he did her once that she is knocked up. He goes to her doctor before she has her first appointment and tells the doctor not to tell her so that he can convince the heroine that he loves her before she can tell him that she is pregnant. He thinks she will never believe he loves her but will be convinced that he onlhy wants her for the baby. As soon as the heroine confesses her love and about the baby, he says I know! I snuck around and told the dr not to tell you. Seems to me she would immediately think just what he didn't want her to think. But the author didn't want to write that so she just ignored it. Those are just a few examples.

Why did I read this when I know DP is not for me? Well I got the book for free. What can I say? show less
