Lady's Choice (Wheeler Large Print Book Series (Cloth))

Summary: fun book to read!
Review: After a bit of a rocky start, I really enjoyed reading this book. I love a book with snappy, witty dialogue and Lady's Choice doesn't disappoint. I also felt that Julianna and Travis made a good couple that I could see staying together for the rest of their lives (always a good quality in a romance!). There were a couple of problems with this book that some people might find hard to swallow. One problem was the moral ambiguity. The hero starts off carrying out revenge and even though he gets over his anger neither he nor Julianna ever admit that what he did was morally wrong. Even worse are Julianna's family. What they did was absolutely immoral (it makes me mad to even think about it) yet they never even admit they did anything wrong and never try to make ammends. How are we suppose to feel anything but disdain for them? I especially disliked Julianna's weak cousin who I think we are actually meant to like. Another thing about this book that may bother readers is the personality of the heroine. I almost stopped reading the book after the fist couple of chapters because Julianna was so abrasive. It definitely took several chapters before I could get over her almost psychotic behavior at the beginning. But I did eventually warm up to her and I must admit, I have always loved a strong heroine who has absolute faith in her mate. All in all I think the strong points of this book far outweigh the negatives and I highly recommend Lady's Choice (good title BTW).

Summary: No pushover heroine's here.....
Review: Jayne Ann Krentz never disappoints. Even though this is a relatively short book Ms. Krentz draws her characters very sharply. Both the heroine and hero are strong, intlelligent people. There is the usual friction between the couple but you still always have the sense that they are going to resolve their conflict. This book also has great, snappy dialogue.

Summary: A Bad Choice
Review: To put it simply I didn't like the heroine nor her family, my question is where was the "hook" on Ms Krentz's part to engage me with this nest of vipers. Juliana's family has no redeeming value unless you think the loyalty shown towards each other off sets the lack of ethnics to all others outside the "family circle" in other words think Medici. Juliana's forcefulness would be considered abusive or at the very least not very PC if Travis had exhibited the same behavior towards her, not a likeable heroine. I am glad I borrowed this book.
