Review: Disappointing

In all three stories the hero is afflicted by some sort of problem.  In the first story the man is blind and suffers from memory loss.  The heroine is kind, loving and patient.  The couple realize the attraction they feel but try to resist temptation.  There is one part where they close to having sexual relations but stop.  The heroine goes to her room only to have the hero sneak in later and feel her up as she sleeps.  I told myself I had surely read that wrong and read it again - nope.  I didn't find that to be romantic or sensual.  I found it creepy.In the second story, the hero is trying to come to terms with what he had done during the war.  The heroine is supposed to be innocent and virginal, but she nearly gives herself to him within two minutes of meeting.  Way too many characters in the story, and there was one in particular who was so unsavory I couldn't figure out why the heroine`s family allowed the jerk to remain as a possible suitor.  The story seemed to take on a supernatural twist.Third story:  the hero had been jilted and has a mistrust of women.  He is a doctor and had buried himself in his work to forget his disappointment in love.  The heroine is made his ward and they have to fight the attraction.  Frankly I felt like he had some real hang ups about sexual relations.  He would think disparagingly about ` his urges`.There are misunderstandings that cause the heroines in the last two stories to behave in a rash manner.The stories plod along at times.  This was three stories for free so I won't complain.  They just weren't as good as I hoped they would be.
