I'll continue to give Annette Blair a chance so I can see if she has captured the magic that she had in The Butterfly Garden. I will read the others in the Rogue series because (1) I have them lying around and (2) the next book sounds intriguing (hey, what can I say, I like scarred and/or tortured heroes! :P). For the most part I found her boring, tedious, stupid, and unworthy of Gideon. Even with her past, I felt she was too much of a Mary Sue and didn't have any redeeming features. In this book I increasingly began to dislike Sabrina, but liked Gideon enough (with the exception of his liking, let alone loving, Sabrina). That's the way all Annette Blair books I've read have made me feel, I've never connected to any of them with the exception of The Butterfly Garden, which I loved and why I continue to read her books. I've read similar stories/plots that I've enjoyed much, much more, which were written in a way that let the reader into the story and didn't hold them at a distance. For me the story just seemed to plod along and never get anywhere interesting. I really don't think it is anything out of the ordinary as the reviews state or imply.
With all the rave reviews at Amazon I really thought I'd like this book too bad I was wrong. Readers are just plopped down in the middle of this and expected to believe what's going on.Īnother pet peeve: too much assuming going on by the different characters. I suppose this annoys me because there is so little character development. Seriously he's your best bet, you better at least put most of your eggs in that basket! If you're so scared of men, then shouldn't you just fess up after he figures out you have two other children? UGH. It really annoys me that Sabrina continuously lied omitted things from her new husband. Ex-lover and would-be trouble maker Ronnie isn't all she lives up to be (which was kind of a disappointment) and the stupidity of the heroine bothered me. If you can suspend your disbelief for the entire book characters are alright. No one is that forgiving or that attracted to someone else that they'll throw their personalities out the window. I don't really like the premise of this book - it's too unbelievable.
