Review: If You're In The Mood For a Harlequin...

Elizabeth Lennox does a good job with the Harlequin stereotypes, but her plots and characters are starting to blend together for me.I think I would have enjoyed this one more if Zeke had just married Marissa to indulge his protective instincts and then they'd taken more time to get to know each other.  As it is, they spend most of their time having sex and her questioning him about what's going on and him avoiding answering her.  And no matter how frustrated she gets about being out of the loop, she never actually tries to do anything about it.  Considering that she's supposedly constantly resisting her Father's control over her life, how is it she never even tries to rebel against Zeke's?  Most of my favorite Lennox heroines are the fiery ones that know what they want out of life and go for it even if it hurts their heart to let the men they love go... Marissa barely knows Zeke and yet she's following him to the ends of the earth, whining all the way.  I say whining instead of protesting or resisting because her reactions are not nearly strong enough to use those words.Hoping that her sister has some more fire to her, and more of an emotional journey, because Lennox usually writes enjoyable emotional content. Not so much with this one. It kind of feels like she's just writing and throwing the first draft out there without going back through and adding in the details that made things like her Attracelli clan books so great.
