Review: Liked the H, but the h didn't have enough going for her...

My favorite Linda Chance books are "Seduced by the American Millionaire" and "His Indecent Proposal" because not only do you get the super intense alpha male (which Ms. Chance excels at) but also the female leads have their own lives and are either independent or at least striving to be.  I reread those stories and to a lesser extent the Blackmailed and Bedded stories because she does such a great job of the alpha male romance.This is not the case with "Marco's Redemption."  The h is so weak that you can't believe Marco would really be interested in her after he had sex with her a few times.  At 24 she was still living with her mom and yet she hasn't amassed enough savings in the several years that she's been working that she can't afford auto insurance on her own?  She has a TSTL moment when she rear ends Marco's car and acts like an idiot ("hey no Marco you didn't injure me," doesn't respond to his requests for insurance/driver's license but just says stupidly "it's going to be okay")  When Marco takes her in, you'd think after maybe a couple of weeks she'd find something other than light housework to occupy her time - create her own network of friends while in Houston, find a part-time job to earn her own spending money and to get out of the freaking penthouse.  I like that she eventually confronts Marco on what she expects of the relationship, but even towards the end it feels like she is just waiting for him to call the shots - too much of a doormat.I'll continue to look for Linda Chance books, but am sorry to say, this was not her best.  I wish she'd go back and rewrite the h cuz she did a great job with the H.
