Review: Not what I expected

Let me start off by saying I am a Vera Roberts fan. I've devoured her books in single sittings because I truly enjoy the emotion she puts into her writing. She's fantastic. Even the writing in this one was great. However (and isn't there always a however when you extol someone but still give the book a 2?), I was disappointed. Not in the writing or structure or grammar but because this was not what i expected. At all. One half of me is torn because the story was interesting but my heart just wasnt in it. I think i'm a traditional romance reader ---- give me a H/h, a plot (dont care what..military, paranormal, whatever) and if its well written, I'm in. I want my lovers to be into Each Other. I want them sexin' Each Other. I dont want my H to get bored by the h and jump the bones of an old love or vice versa. This was a novel more along the lines of Nora Roberts or whoever. From a writers perspective, this book showed me that Ms. Roberts has branched out a bit; seemed to want to put something out there that was a bit more evolved and for that I heartily applaud her. What's thepoint of being a writer if you don't stretch your boundries. Unfortunately, MY boundries for romance haven't expanded.  I wanted traditional but this wasn't that.
