I found myself livid with the heroine’s attitude and reckless actions.
I not just didn’t like it, I detested it. I genuinely cared for them and their plight. It’s what made them interesting and compelling. Balogh’s characters is because she gives them flaws which makes them real, but she also gives them plenty of time to grow with the story so that by the end they are richer and well rounded. Why write such a self-righteous, self-pitying and all round pathetic human being? I’ve said before that the reason I love Ms. Color me surprised as I dug deepper and deeper into this story. Now, since I read and loved her Survivors Club series, I was pleasantly surprised that she’d decided to reprint this series and I liked the first book and Rex and Catharine’s story, so I was sure that this one would be just as good. Balogh’s Horseman Trilogy series in which we meet four friends who’ve survived and returned from Napoleonic wars. Show More so what went wrong? That’s the question I’m going to try and answer. I didn't much like this book, I didn't like the hero in the least, and I especially didn't like that his mean-spirited female relations (who provided so much driving force and narrative tension) randomly become kind-hearted in the last few pages. The miscarriage is particularly convenient because A)then their kid doesn't have to grow up as basically a bastard and B)this way they can each weep and realize how much they mean to each other. And of course he eventually finds out, and they feel forced to marry, and she has a miscarriage. WAAAAAHhhh?Īnyway, of course she ends up pregnant. But then he's like, no, that's not enough sharing, I have to be inside you or else we'll die of cold? And she takes him seriously? And they have dispassionate sex, like they're just doing it to save their lives, and then go their separate ways. So they take off their clothes and spoon. Kenneth says they have to share body heat.
And then the stupidst thing I have possibly ever read in a romance novel takes place. Kenneth chases after her on foot, and they take shelter in a little unheated cabin. Show More Kenneth's relatives gossiping and is so upset that she immediately sets out walking for home.
