Robin Schone has a knack for writing about unusual heroes and heroines involved in unusual situations, both personal and romantic. And this, the last of The Men and Women's Club series, is no exception.
But as Cry for Passion went on, the unusual aspects of Jack's and Rose's lives served less to invest me in their emotions, fears, and cares and more to distance me from them. While they possessed distinct personalities and hopes and needs at the beginning of the book, all ripe with potential, by the end they seemed mere actors on the stage of England's historical battle for women's and wives' rights.
Not that such a history isn't important or interesting, but the plot and characters were so caught up in legal machinations that the romance show more and the connection between the hero and heroine fell by the wayside. I finished the book feeling as if I understood the English legal system under Queen Victoria's rule far better than why the hero and heroine belonged together. show less

I just could not get into this book. Action was very slow and dialog didn't sound realistic. I struggled through 140 pages then gave up.
