3.0 out of 5 stars
Heroine was a brat,
By seton (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desire's Command (Paperback)
Setting: England & Virginia during Thomas Jefferson's presidency (yes, Jefferson appears in the novel)
This book has some of the hallmarks from the Golden Age of the Bodiceripper: bratty heroine, large age difference between H/H (15 yrs), an over-the-top villain with multiple chins and the appetite of the Marquis de Sade, and loads of plot coincidences, but at least the hero isn't one of those vicious, abusive alpholes, a la Steve from SWEET SAVAGE LOVE. He is pretty much a saint compared to the heroine. I consider myself to have a higher tolerance for unlikable heroines than most romance readers but the heroine in this is one of the worst. Not only is she immature, but she is snobby, bitchy, ignorant, ungrateful, and dumb (a deadly combination). In fact, she is lacking in any kind of admirable quality beyond the fact that she has the looks and body of a Playboy Bunny. It sucks that she gets a HEA but that's life. However, that's NOT what I want to read in a romance. Content warnings: several rape attempts, forced seduction, adultery (off-screen) |
