 Too Contrived to be Plausible August 31, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book didn't really make too much sense. It actually felt like a daytime soap opera, with plots moving too quickly, just to finish up the storylines. The main character, Elizabeth Carlton, just didn't feel real. She does a complete about face, but still stays totally naive. She acts like a small child who will throw tantrums just to get what she wants. Overall, this is one of my least favorite Catherine Coulter books. Stick with Nora Roberts, at least her books are more enjoyable.
 Over The Top & Some Unappealing Characterizations December 31, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although this was a fast read, too many of the characters were unappealing and associated loose ends were too neatly tied up with life changes that seemed forced. Also, any woman with a shred of self-respect would never have done an about-face and fallen into the arms of a man who spewed such initial cruel venom and vicious words at her. That's not the kind of role-model or object of admiration one wants to project for any gender.

The wall was falling in 1989 and this writer must have felt the tremor and rumbling. The words cry out.

I really enjoy CC and found even w/ my quibbles I was captivated to finish this book. I didn't care much for the hero, he seemed like a man taken from her historical novels and didn't fit well in contemporary settings...He was a jerk at the beginning, then instantly loved her, and I didn't sense the connection that CC was going for. She probably could have made Ro the hero and I would have received him better. What I was hoping most for was Adrian and Liz to get together, he sounded perfect!!! Overall, though, this was a book that kept me reading.
