Top marks for going against the grain,

This review is from: A Durable Fire (Bestseller Romance) (Paperback)
This book has possibly the most unusual timeline and plot development I have ever read in a Harlequin.
The overview is pretty typical for a Harlequin. Poor innocent heroine involved with one brother but falls in love with the other brother who lusts after her while holding her in contempt. We have all read that Harlequin before. Wait, not so fast. The this books unfolds over a period of five years. The story opens as the hero(Kyle) escorts the heroine(Arminel) to an airport and seemingly out of his life. The story of the short and brutal relationship comes out in a flashback as the heroine cries on the shoulder of a stranger she meets on the plane. The stranger(Dan)later becomes her husband and the father of her child. No, not step-father to the hero's child. Father to the heroine's child. A heroine in a Harlequin actually went on with her life and married a good(and richer) man after a youthful folly with the hero. The hero is re-introduced on page 129 five years since they first met, still attracted to the heroine against his will and VERY angry that she moved on to bigger and better things almost immediately after he showed her the road. He tries to get back what he thinks is his, but the now older, more sophisticated heroine will no longer put up with his foolishness and will not let him use her despite the fact that she stil has feelings for him. FINALLy, a Harlequin heroine with character,self-respect and is not the slave of her libido. The book was so unusual, power and sexy. I read this book when it was first issued and again last weekend. It has aged well. I wish more Harlequin writers would create heroines like Arminel.

The Best ever,
By Vandiga "Vandiga" (Caribbean) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Durable Fire (Bestseller Romance) (Paperback)
This is one of the best romances I have ever read. The Heroine surprised me so much by not wasting her life feeling sorry for herself and hating men for the rest of her life. She moved on - married , enjoyed being with her new husband and they even had a child. She later meets again the man who treated her so badly and does not let him walk all over her. It is a wonderful story of a strong woman who knows what she wants and which surprised me from beginning to end. A great read. I give it 5 stars.

Passion or hatred - which was stronger?,
By anonymous (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Durable Fire (Bestseller Romance) (Paperback)
From back cover: From the moment she first met heartless, handsome Kyle Beringer, Arminel was overwhelmed by conflicting emotions. Kyle was convinced Arminel's engagement to his brother Rhys was not a union of two lovers. In fact, he assumed she was a gold-digging little tramp, interested only in the Beringer fortune. He did everything he could to make it clear her presence on the family's New Zealand sheep station was an unwelcome intrusion. But his eyes gave him away. They flamed with violent desire that Arminel was powerless to resist.
