Review: Intesting Story, but Lacking Emotion

Boaz's Wager was a follow-up to Mitch's Win. While it was interesting to read Boaz's story, and finally see him happy and reunited with his children, I found the story to be very flat emotionally. Eva and Rachel are kidnapped, then sold by their kidnappers. While they initially showed some strong feelings (anger and fear), within an hour's time, they accepted the men who bought them and said their vows. I was hoping that Eva would have been angry for far longer...and why didn't she yell out to the crowd that they hadn't been found, but kidnapped? I found it appalling that the men and townspeople would just accept that women could be sold like livestock and nothing done about it.I also waited for Eva to show anger and stand up for herself when Boaz informed her that their marriage wouldn't be a true marriage. Again, she just accepted her lot in life. There were few emotional highs and lows and really very little conflict. If you like that type of story, you will enjoy this. But personally, I like more to my story than a staid romance.
