Duncan's Bride by Linda Howard
3.0
Meh. It’s an unusual mix of yes I finished, but there were some parts that didn’t work for me. I had really hoped that the Reese’s redemption from being a jerk was more convincing. Madeline deserved more than just an “I love you” as proof all was going to be OK. Or perhaps had more than an 5 minute epilogue after it. I wanted more to feel like there was a real HEA.
Lots of scenes that added some serious time to the story but didn’t push the story or relationship forward very well. Something just didn’t click for me or maybe it was because I wanted to feel Reese “soften” toward Maddie through these and he didn’t.
And is *every* one of Howard’s heroines a virgin? And in their late 20s? And they fall in love with the H without an ounce of reason (a few hours in this instance)? Spunky while simultaneously a pushover?
Narration:
I really enjoyed it. Lesa Lockford does Great voices, accents, emotions. I’m inclined to think she was responsible for me feeling as positive about the book as I did.
