Book Review of My Man, Michael (SBC Fighters, Bk 5)

My Man, Michael (SBC Fighters, Bk 5)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


IMHO, a HUGE cop-out for Lori Foster. This would have been an awesome opportunity for her to write a good story about how a real man deals with a very real problem, and comes out of it as a stronger person, maybe not physically, but mentally. And a good opportunity to write a good story about how a real woman might accept a real man with a disability, and love him despite it.

Yes, it COULD have been that, but it wasn't. Not at all. Instead of having Mallet deal with his very real situation, she sends him off to some fairyland where he magically becomes whole again. Really? Again, cop-out.

I would have expected this if the series had been this way all along, but a series which is supposed to take place in a "real" modern-day world where "real" men are dealing with "real" situations? It just didn't fit at all. I'm a fan of the paranormal genre, and have read and loved many books similar to this one. This one is easily on par with the other paranormal authors I've read, but again, since it didn't fit with the series here, it seemed, again, like just a cop-out.

I'm all for Lori Foster wanting to write paranormals. That's ok with me. But, just not in the middle of a non-paranormal series. That just seemed wrong.
