In Your Arms

Rating:
Summary: Not her best work
Review: This is a horrible, horrible book. It does not deliver what readers have come to expect from a good romance novel. First, this novel is full of interesting history that the author does not describe in greater detail. She is a very poor historian and should concentrate more on the romantic part of the plot. All she does is confuse the reader with her vaguely described historical events. Second, the male protagonist is mostly unpleasant and often cruel. Very rarely do we see a soft spot in his heart for the heroine. I was really hoping that there would be a major confession of the "hero's" love for the heroine at the end of the story, especially after the way he treats her throughout the book. But no. He never even says the 3 little words we have come to expect at the end (at least) of a good romance novel. We are just supposed to assume he loves her. Very unfulfilling! Third, there are numerous loose ends at the end of the novel. Definitely a book to avoid at all costs.
