Hope's Folly by Linnea Sinclair
5.0
I have to preface this review by stating how incredibly disappointed I am that this book didn't include a sneak peak for whatever book Sinclair is publishing next. It makes me feel like there's not a "next", which is a frightening thought.
Anyway, I loved Hope's Folly. And, yes, once again Sinclair's made me swoon over her hero. I really started to like Philip Guthrie in Shades of Dark. I'm glad he got his own book and lived up to my expectations. Rya, on the other hand, is probably my second to the least favorite female character. I can't quite put my finger on why. At first, I thought it was because she's so forward, but Lady Sass was pretty darn forward too, and I loved her. Maybe it's because she's taken on the role of Guthrie's personal bodyguard? I think I have this mental blockage against heroines taking care of heros, and Rya had to do that a lot. Understandably, since Guthrie was injured throughout the book, but I think it must have bothered me on some level. *shrug*
I very much enjoyed the plot of this book. Guthrie's working on building a new government to confront the old, evil one, and it's not exactly an easy thing to do. It's a pretty straightforward plot, no big surprises or twists and turns, but a very enjoyable read. I did miss Chaz and Sully, though.
