Wha...Re: the spoiler--Wow. Some "hero."<br /><br />What struck me was that two of the three stories had women traveling afar to find their fathers.

If you don't wanna know people - stop reading this comment!<br /><br />OK....<br /><br />Here it goes<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Heroine knows she sucks as a housekeeper, and is aware of her extremely limited options. And a single woman in the 19th century with no family, husband, or marketable skills is pretty much left with one option - yep, becoming a whore. So she asks the hero to deflower her and teach her what it's like to be one. He gets pretty pissed off with this suggestion, but has sex with her anyway and gives her a small taste of what she could routinely expect.<br /><br />Granted he could have treated her A LOT worse, but he still doesn't treat her "well" - and the sex scene was just....unpleasant. It was mutual, and they were both consenting....but it just wasn't "nice" - for lack of a better word. It just didn't work for me on a romance-level.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-84390350839129795112010-10-20T22:23:34.992-07:002010-10-20T22:23:34.992-07:00Geez...I meant the "Heath" story!

I ...I'm really curious about the sex scene too. I mean, if it's not "forced seduction" or rape (they're essentially the same to me and mean that author is on probation if not on an outright "do not buy" list for me. Sexual coercion is a bright-line do-not-cross issue for me. I understand that others feel differently though), what was so offensive about this sex scene? I'm having a hard time imagining what it could be. Spoilers, pretty please. <br /><br />The Heather story sounds really interesting but not interesting enough to buy the book given the poor showing of the rest. Maybe I'll look for this in my local library network.Marie-Thérèsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-66252400548501718682010-10-20T16:41:27.279-07:002010-10-20T16:41:27.279-07:00Well if you average the A and C you get a B.

Just in case you wanted to really give it a final grade. :) <br /><br />Oh, and you'll have to fill me in on the sex scene - you know I won't read it but I'm curious.Lil Sisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-18251273652453055112010-10-20T15:34:14.221-07:002010-10-20T15:34:14.221-07:00Yeah, that's what I meant.

LOL, seems like the stories balance themselves out. It's really too bad that Ms Heath is now writing more historicals... it seemed like she had a lot of success with cowboys.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
