bookshelves: romance

An enjoyable experience until 90%, then I had to force myself to get to the end. I really wanted to DNF it.

There is no way such a behaviour can be forgiven, he was beyond assh* material, he destroyed her life and her future. He never thought for a minute about her. And I lost any respect I had for the heroine. She has no brain nor self respect either. So at the end the romance was a great let down. And given that RS are romance, no real mystery(view spoiler), if the romance fails...

All the last 10% of the book was either rant or cringe worthy. And please let us avoid talking about the epilogue.. brrr.

Sorry, I can't recommend this book.

RachelW (BamaGal) I had to laugh at your reaction to the ending. It never bothered me like that, I felt he was just doing his job. It's been over twenty years since I read it, though; so my memory is a bit hazy on the story. Sometimes these old books don't age very well.

My LH ‘throw it at the wall because of the asshole Hero� book was always After the Night...

Mara Ok, I'll avoid that! And no, I didn't think he was being a cop, or definitely not a good cop. As the heroine I may understand the reasoning, but the choice wasn't his to make. But again I couldn't stomach the heroine's reaction or lack of it because sex. Bleah. She did the opposite of an intelligent choice: agree, save your life and get the perp, and then kick his ass to the curb.

Mara Plus he really was a bad cop or rather again with 'all' RS the suspense part is often a joke. Here he's not only an ass, he's a stupid ass. He didn't expect her reaction? He didn't think about her job, to involve her employers etc etc.


RachelW (BamaGal) I have a bit of a soft spot for Howard. Not only is she an Alabama author; when she was writing Open Season, she used our local small town library as well as my high school library for her research (h was a small town librarian).

She was in and out for weeks and sent everyone autographed books. That was cool, and she was so nice to everyone.

I wish I remembered more about the book, but I just don't anymore.
