patience

My Review:

The heroine's car breaks down outside the hero's home.  She was on her way to meet with (by coincidence) his brother.  The hero takes interest in her and immediately sticks to her like glue, instead of a grand passion, they seem like friendly travelling companions.  He shows her a bit of the city, then he declares he has good intentions with her, slowly takes things at her pace, tells her he loves her and wants to marry her, tells her the sex can wait.  (She had a bad experience with sex and gets in a panic at intimacy)  Hmmm.  This book was kind of boring for me personally.  It wasn't very passionate, it had a hero who restrained his impulse to jump the heroine.  The book relied for the most part on dialogue, with little sensual description of the feelings the hero/heroine experienced.  There was a sexual assault plot, which is an ick factor and wasn't too pleasant.  I felt a little woozy mentally reading this book, because I'm incredibly stuffed up with allergies at the moment, so maybe that contributed to me just not getting into it. 

Rating: 2/5 stars, couldn't get into it.   NFM

But this time Lianne is wise to Tyler's ways, he's after more than just a business arrangement; he wants her back where he feels she belongs...at his bidding!  

My Review:

This was refreshing!  The hero loved his wife, and told her that clearly from the beginning.  When lies were told about him being involved with another woman, the hero didn't get stuffed up on pride and refuse to explain himself, he simply told her the truth: it's a lie, and wanted her to trust him.  When she didn't trust him, he didn't give up on her like other heroes have, instead he set a very determined plan into action, as soon as he physically could (three months went by before he could get away to chase after her), to get her back.
