1.0 out of 5 stars
Simply awful--a big disappointment!,

This review is from: Saint's Haven (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
I ordered this out-of-print book after reading another by this author, A Perilous Attraction. I had enjoyed that book. I can't believe the two books were written by the same author. This book was bad from the beginning. The first thing I noticed was that I never felt like the story was "real." The characters and plot didn't ring true. Most disturbing was that 2/3 of the way through the book, the heroine was infatuated by the ultimately murderous villain--kissing him and thinking about marrying him! Where is the romance in that? She abruptly gets over him and realizes she really loves the hero,with little explanation for the switch. Since the story was supposed to be about the struggle to save an orphanage, I expected more about the orphans. There was little character development(we are supposed to believe that all of a sudden the kids want to call the hero "Papa" even though they didn't have much to do with him up to that point.) Several murders were thrown in, in a gothic way(the "mad" wife of a secondary character, running around at night in her white gown, was just too "Jane Eyre" for me!) This is one of the worst regencies I have ever read, and went into the trash, even though "A Perilous Attraction" is on my "keeper shelf." I will try more by this author, and hope that Saint's Haven was just an aberration!
