Review: What a Meany!
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 24, 2012
I like strong women but I don't like mean girls. And the heroine in this story belongs to that category of women that I avoid in real life. So, it goes without saying that I don't like to read about them in romances because they get a HEA that they don't deserve.So, why am I giving this book three stars? It's because of the male protagonist. Mark Goldsworthy is an excellent example of a human being who against all odds won and though life had dealt him another bad card, it had not stopped him continue fight for a better life. He's not a male Polyanna either. He just refuses to be kept down.That is why I am very surprised with author Tamara Larson. She can flesh out a character that you can fall in love with and then on the opposite side, she writes a character that is so silly. The reason for Serena's (the heroine) bitterness is so shallow.Another reason why I took away two stars, the antagonist received so much screen time and he just faded into the sunset. Chances are we will meet him in the next installment of this series, but quite frankly I feel cheated because the ending is asking for a wrap up on the antagonist.This book is rated M for mature due to sex scenes and language.
