Rude hero ruined the book,
By Anne M. Marble "Anne" (MD, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dream Baby (Harlequin American Romance, No. 738) (Paperback)
The book had a great heroine, funny plot, good writing... And one of the rudest heroes I have ever come across in a romance written in this decade. Omigod. He didn't just leap at conclusions, he pole-vaulted into them.Maggie is a soap opera actress. Her character is having fertility problems. So somebody leaves a baby on her doorstep. I'm not into the "baby" books Harlequin thinks we all love. But this one had potential. Then, Jared, the so-called hero, came along. He made all sorts of assumptions about the heroine, based on the usual zilch evidence. She's an actress, so she must be vain, shallow, and in it for the publicity. He mocks her, makes baseless accusations, gets hits by feelings of jealousy he can't quite understand. Oh, brother. Jared's feelings about actresses are later explained -- sort of. I wasn't satisified with the explanation. Also, I was uncomfortable with the idea that this guy who hated show business was a pediatrician who treated the children of performing artists. What a professional attitude. It should come as no surprise that I gave this a D+ at All About Romance. |
