Tycoon's One-Night Revenge Bronwyn Jameson SD

Sabdh~My comments are in BOLD print!  As far as TBR, it was a good book.  I truly enjoyed several of the descriptions the author painted!  I am down to ZERO TBR, so I would read this immediately if it's what I had.  I'm not sure if I had a selection that it would be first, however!

At 55,000 words, Silhouette Desire books are filled to the brim with
strong, intense storylines. This was met!  

The novels should be fast-paced reads,
and present the hero and heroine's conflict by the end of chapter one
in order for the reader to understand what obstacles will impact the
characters for the remainder of the novel.  I'm not sure this was totally met.  While amnesia is a big part, it is never truly "explained" until close to the end.

The Desire hero should be powerful, wealthy — an alpha male
with a sense of arrogance and entitlement. While he may be harsh and
direct, he is never physically cruel. He is capable of being saved and
it's up to the heroine to get him there. I don't believe the hero need "saved".  He needed gaps filled in, but not "saved".  Once his motivation is revealed, you see that he is not quite as Alpha as he probably should be.  The Texan hero should own the
ranch, not work on it, and the urban hero should be the company CEO,
not a handyman.

The Desire heroine is complex and flawed. She is strong-willed
and smart though capable of making terrible mistakes when it comes to
matters of the heart.  Heroine meets this criteria.  This is primarily her story so much of the book
should be from her point-of-view.  I felt that pov was at least 50/50.  I didn't really see this as the heroine's story. There is room for the hero's
perspective as long as his thoughts are centered on the heroine and
their conflict. Instead of dividing the novel equally between both
protagonists' points-of-view, Desires should be more 60% heroine and
40% hero.

The conflict should be dramatic with such classic plot lines
as revenge, secret pregnancies, marriages of convenience and reunion
romances.  Conflict criteria was met. Plots which focus on suspense, paranormal or character-driven
concerns are best directed elsewhere. The story can be set anywhere in
the world, but the tone should be true to the author's voice.

Desire novels are sensual reads and a love scene or scenes are
still needed. But there is no set number of pages that needs to be
fulfilled. Rather, the level of sensuality must be appropriate to the
storyline. Above all, every Silhouette Desire novel must fulfill the
promise of a powerful, passionate and provocative read.  This was met, but not to the extent I "assumed" it would be!

a thousand or more books????  You must have a large house!!!!

We are moving in a little over a month, and I'm getting an "office/library" out of the deal!  I can't wait!  DH doesn't know yet that I want built in bookshelves on all the walls!!!!  LOL!

Unfortunately, I need to buy the lumber, paint, and then the books (TBR) to fill them!!!!
