3.0 out of 5 stars Chance wants Fancy badly. . . but not as his wife., September 21, 1998

This review is from: Fancy (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Perhaps it's because he first met her as a dance hall girl and assumed she was a whore. Anyway, Chance Dawson is determined to get Fancy in his bed. Fancy, struggling to keep her family fed, is not interested in his proposition. Dancing is the only way she can make a living in this logging town owned by. . . you guessed it. . . Chance Dawson. When he pressures her employer to fire her, Fancy is forced to bring her family to live in Chance's home.

Although I did enjoy this book, I was aggravated by Chance's stubborn refusal to consider making her his wife, especially after he discovered her innocence. Considering that nearly every single man in the town would have jumped over hoops to marry her, his reluctance to claim her as his own seemed odd. Especially when she proved to be a great housekeeper and cook in addition to her other desirable characteristics. This circumstance caused me to doubt the depth of his love for her. Now if the author had given us a good REASON for his attitude, perhaps I could have accepted it. But I don't find it terribly romantic that he expected her to be ecstatic at the prospect of being his whore. . . especially when she had her family's welfare to consider.

WOW!! I have just finished this book and the first thing that comes to my mind is WOW!!! It was great! The characters were strong, and the plot was full of twists. There are only two reasons why this book got only four stars from me. The first and probably the biggest is Chance and Fancy's relationship. They had great chemistry, but their constant sniping at each other got a little old. And two, I was really dissapointed when Gil was killed. I would have loved to read a book about him. He was easy to love. Overall I'd say this was one of the better books, by far! I strongly reccomend it!!!

Great book. You just kind of hate Chance through most of the book because he's constantly insulting Fancy and making excuses for it. It just makes the ending even better. I started at 2:30p.m. and i ended at 12:00 a.m. couldn't take my eyes of it more than an hour. Wonderful! The only thing i didnt like was the mess ups on the names. it was very confusing. highly recomended.
