Heroine getting more spineless!īy the third book -I admit skimming through both first 2 books, I was mind numbingly bored- I started to get irritated, by the hero/heroine, the terrorist, the gore, the endless "Action/Thriller" ( at least from the writer perspective)! The second dragged with too uninteresting details not helping the story, and still the protagonists were as flat as ever. ( to a certain extent, but disappointing with much unnecessary description and way less "relationship" building) There's no story / characters developement, through all 3 books. There's no building into a more than rape, rinse, repeat! But she falls for him!!! Okaaay! I will accept she's tstl and dumb as a post too! No real true training as far as I understand it in the BDSM terms! The interaction between the two is so stilted and dialogues are a rarity in this book, between the 2 protagonists, you really don't know how he brought the masochist in her, except with very vague alluding to whipping and such. what can I say, there's nothing to redeem him -but in the heroine's opinion he's gorgeous- don't know if that's redeeming. The heroine is so spineless, you would think a jelly-fish has more guts than her! I bought the books because I thought it was a dark romance.well it is not! Let me explain why. |
