Loading... To Seduce a Texanby Georgina Gentry
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() Goofy but cute western romance. Not intended to be very realistic I don't think. The kidnapped girl was spoiled and demanding but charming with it. The hero was long suffering and heroic. Not laugh out loud funny but amusing all the same. I felt like I was reading a vaudeville melodrama. Usually I don't like historical romances where the history is ignored and the plot is silly. But sometimes you just want a little amusement. As a romance it wasn't so successful. The romance kind of seemed like an after thought. Read it as a melodrama and you'll be happier. I wanted to like this more, because, damn, but Rosemary was one insecure, chubby, plain heroine. She was constantly doubting that any man could love her. Her family was awful. We were all set for a great mindless afternoon. But the book got a little silly. The dialog was over the top - every other comment a quaint colloquialism and the romantic confessions were so sugary the book should come with an insulin shot. The enemies-to-lovers plot line can be fun but they just seemed to randomly accept their feelings (and each others') in a way that was kind of anti-climactic. So close to being right up my alley but I couldn't help but roll my eyes from time to time. Oh well. no reviews | add a review
