Emily S. (profiteroles) - reviewed on 8/7/2009 + 10 more book reviews

I was not surprised to find that Ms. Enoch used to write historical romances. I love historical romances, but I mostly like them because they're so historically inaccurate that the exaggerated plots and over-emotional (or maddeningly rational) heroines go with the scenery. Sam Jellicoe is not so bad, but Rick Addison is out of this world--literally. Really, a British billionaire who thinks anybody working at his Florida mansion is "under his roof" therefore "under his protection"? Ms. Enoch tries to make a joke out of it, but it doesn't hold. Coupled with a murder mystery that I had trouble keeping track of (wait, because of what, the main suspect has changed? why is that the best next step to getting to the bottom of this?) and generally mediocre writing, this book is a definite pass. (Of course, if you're just looking to waste time at the beach, you could do worse. Not *all* the sentences were horrendous. :) )
