It's a rather touchy situation with the male protagonist that will present a problem for many romance readers.

Just because the hero remained irredeemable for me, doesn't mean that he will for you. You know how it is with reading and tastes! Everyone has their own. :D The plot IS quite interesting... I read it in one sitting and it's certainly interesting.

The fact that the hero remained irredeemable is a huge bummer.

Unfortunately by the end those questionable actions were just too many. He was hard-hearted for too long. <br /><br /> RE: Falls Chance Ranch. I am definitely going to read the first book. I loved Ames' review. Thank you for adding your recommendation too! I look forward to reading it. :D Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-55122384051061083862013-01-26T09:41:21.431-05:002013-01-26T09:41:21.431-05:00Alex, the hero does his thing at the very last min...Alex, the hero does his thing at the very last minute and pleads for forgiveness. It was just too late for me -- my personal disconnect lasted to the very end. That second chance in marriage plot is one of my favorite plot devices, and I loved the possibilities here of the fusion between that one and the marriage of convenience. <br /><br />You should definitely check out The Lady's Secret. It was Chambers' debut novel and a great read!<br />Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-61849237802533808392013-01-26T02:28:27.496-05:002013-01-26T02:28:27.496-05:00Great review Hils!

There's such a fine line between as*hat hero and non-as*hat hero :)<br /><br />OT - I saw on another blog you might be thinking of reading Falls Chanch Ranch. I read those books late last year and they Blew. Me. Away. I wrote a very long review (which is on my blog or GR). I know it may not be a book that works for everyone, but...it totally spoke to me *beams* If you do end up reading it I look forward to your thoughts :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-13217532573590150202013-01-25T19:35:57.147-05:002013-01-25T19:35:57.147-05:00Aww, it sounds like it's a little disappointin...Aww, it sounds like it's a little disappointing int he end. The plot sounds nice and I love the whole second chance in marriage plot, but yeah, I don't like when the hero's don't really change. <br /><br />I have to check The Lady's Secret though!

I read it in basically one sitting too. It's a matter of disconnect with a character and/or situation. You might be right about Rose -- my personal view is that there is a certain lack of balance in how the situation unfolds between Rose and Gil.

It sounds like Rose should have been a bit harsher with him, bring him to his knees :P But it's good to know that Ms Chambers' writing remains excellent :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
