Review: Tamer Version of 50 Shades of Grey
Rating: 3 out of 5

I am a huge fan of Lynda Chance and absolutely loved Sarah's Surrender and all 3 of the Louisiana Liasons. I have to agree with the JLW's review. The h was just not believable. She was too helpless and made me feel like she did not have a backbone or a brain, which is not really to my liking. I prefer a h that will stand up for herself and make H work more for the relationship to develop. Unfortunately, the entire time that I was reading this book (and I read it in one sitting, because I was so excited for her new book) I kept picturing a more tame version of Christian Grey. Dominating H without the kink. Marco went from dominating to sweet too quickly.Since 50 Shades of Grey, everyone seems to be on the bandwagon of the young, handsome, rich hero and the helpless brain dead young heroine, and I am disappointed that Ms. Chance fell into this trap as well. Although many of Lynda Chance's H have a lot of money, the story just seems more realistic. This one did not. I am sorry, Lynda, but this one did just not live up to the incredible stories that you have given me in the past. I am not giving up though. I will be anxiously awaiting your next book.Hopefully you will return to the format of having a more domineering H and a h with more independence and rebellion. Love your books, but I can only give this one a 3 where I normally rate a 5.
