i’m used to and even sometimes fond of linda howard’s typical over the top alpha jerk mmcs but this one was just too much for me.

for a romantic suspense it seemed to be lacking in both romance and suspense?? i found the romance between jaine and sam to be unbelievable and rushed. i mean the met and fell in love within like two weeks and planned to marry a few weeks after? it didn’t even seem like they liked each other before he dropped the love bomb.

i usually love howard’s romantic suspense books and love a lot of vintage (70s-90s) romance but this book really made me understand why so many people hate them.
