I purchased this book because it was on sale and it had gotten so many rave reviews. The first half of the book was good. REALLY good. But after Jordan disappears, he returns a completely changed man. Suddenly he loves Alex and can't bare the thought of her leaving him. It just seemed like too swift of a change of heart. And, of course, Alex fell right back for him. Jordan comes back, makes a deal that essentially forces Alex to have sex with him to produce a legitimate heir and she just falls in love with him all over again? Sorry, I'm not buying it.
The whole murder plot just seemed a tad bit too farfetched to me. Where exactly was Jordan for so long? I know he was imprisoned by the French for a few months, but he was gone for nearly a year and a half. And why did Alex suddenly become so important to him? I also felt he should have been a lot angrier with Anthony and Alex for the whole marriage thing and that he was too quick to suspect them as his conspirators based purely on weak circumstantial evidence.
Something else that annoyed me was the number of typos I noticed. I know it's petty to resent the editors, but it kind of distracted me from being absorbed by the plot. It's kind of hard to become engaged in a novel if it has at least 1 or 2 typos on the same page.
If I were you, I would just borrow it from the library and save my money for something better. |
