This review is from: Ishbel'S Party (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

At least this Harlequin romance heroine had a real career -- as a nurse in war-torn countries. She gets seriously wounded during a siege in Beirut and finally has to come back to Britain to recover and to face her inner demons (she was responsible for killing a child in a drunken car accident 10 years previously).

Heavy stuff for a typical Harlequin, which I appreciate, but as usual, spoiled, by turning the (28-year-old virgin) heroine into a spineless wimp every time she gets near the hero. And the hero is unfortunately a typical alpha male, the controlling-brutish-sort. ISHBEL'S PARTY, aside from giving the heroine a real profession, has nothing very original about its characters or their relationship. It's readable, but that's about it.
