Review: Immature Heroine
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 10, 2013
I have to admit, I find it hard to completely enjoy a story in which I'm not fully engaged with either the hero or the heroine. In this case, it was the heroine; I just found Cassie to be rather immature.It bothered me that she wouldn't be honest with Jess. I felt like this was where a lack of maturity came into play. Spoiler alert, but I'm trying to be careful -- even without the evidence that we learn about later, it would have been easy to prove self-defense in Cassie's case. The first time Jess saw her, she was bruised and battered, and obviously frightened. Although it might have altered the story drastically (but not necessarily in a bad way), I just kept saying, "Just tell him! He's a good guy, let him help you!"If I had liked Cassie more and not found her a little weak, I'd have given this a higher rating.  Having said that, it was a fairly enjoyable read; Jess made the book better.
