Her Guardian (By Request 2's)

Rating:
Summary: Just a reminder
Review: Her Guardian contains two novels: The Bodyguard and Mrs. Jones by Susan Mallery (1996) and Hero Under Cover by Suzanne Brockmann (1994). My purchase was an attempt to complete my Suzanne Brockmann collection and I wasn't disappointed. There was only one storyline, not three, as in her more recent offerings, for which I was grateful. The contrast between Pete's surface machisimo and inner turmoil was thoughtfully portrayed. Likewise, I could feel Annie's frustration with being put upon for free consulting work by her boyfriend. Her solution was ignoring his telephone messages, to which he wasn't oblivious: "I'm begining to consider taking your answering machine to the party at the musuem instead of you. I've spoken to it more often in the past few weeks." You go girl! The maneuver reminded me of Richard Gere in Pretty Woman when he asked an ex-girlfriend if, while they were dating, she spoke to his secretary more than she did to him. She replied simply, "She was one of my bridesmaids."

Review: Need I remind some critics that when you are crtiquing a book that you need to give the reader of your review an general overview of the book and its characters,that is what determines whether or not to buy the book. Lifting a few scences from the book does not help since obviously we haven't read the book and don't know what your'e talking about. Therefore I beseech those who want to write a review, write it as if you were a professional book reviewer and not just telling your friend of some recent read.
