An Affair to Remember

This book just didn't do it for me. It was a bit on the boring side - lots of telling and exposition, and very little action. I didn't really like Anna at all - instead of being a fun character, she was grating and annoying - and I really didn't believe in the romance between the hero and heroine.

Well I feel as if this story line has been done before. I was somewhat bored with this book. I really liked the outspoken red head, Anna. However, I'm kinda surprised Anna didn't bring up the subject of mistresses to her soon to be husband. If he was so willing to make Anna his mistress

when he was to marry Charlotte then I would think she would want to make sure he wouldn't have one after they got married. Seems to me if she is so outspoken she would have wondered about that and brought it up. Maybe that's just me.

The storyline was (predictable but) ok. I guess I read this to take a break from mysteries. It was pleasant enough but the characters were rather thin. Their whole development was in their reputations. They were what they were because she said so. Mischievious, domineering, irresponsible...but

little example was given to support the acusations. The children did some naughty things, but they went from devil spawn to angels with little for the reader to go on except being told they were better. I would have liked to have been given more evidence to come to that conclusion for myself. It is supposedly the first of the series (even if it is a sequel to Seducing Sara...see, more you just have to take her word on) so maybe the rest of the series is better developed. I felt a bit like I was reading the author's notes instead of the finished novel. ("Tricia becomes more agreeable...children become more cooperative...Ruppert becomes redeemable...)

I mean, add a group of kids to any story and I'm going to read it. This is more of a 2.5er, but it's on the 2.56 rather than 2.53 side of that equation, so I'm giving it 3. As always, one has to be realistic about what to expect out of a romance novel but the intrigue all happened within the last

15 pages and wasn't terribly intriguing and the villain wasn't much of a villain and then things got a little dub-con-y on and off.

I didn't hate it, but I definitely had a host of quibbles.

Well I finished this just to remind myself that this author isn’t for me. I read almost seventy percent not really liking any of the characters but figured I’d gotten that far because it was slowly rocking along. But then I skim read the rest which went off the rails with devious plots that I

think I was supposed to enjoy. And I really didn’t see how Anthony and Anna even fell in love as they both bugged me to no end.
