The heroine, Grace O'Rourke, is impossible. She's a teacher and a suffragette, but totally without sense. She leaps into situations with her agenda at the ready but ignores the consequences for herself or others. In a word, she's odious. What the hero, Rathe Bragg, sees in her is questionable. In fact, I wondered about his intelligence because he continued to pursue her after she clearly told him to drop dead. Perhaps he feels the need to protect a woman who needs a keeper.
I've been reading this series because this older series of Brenda Joyce books are supposed to be award-winning. I cannot imagine how. This one is even worse than the first one of the series. I was going to rate this a 3 star until I got to the end. It was so bad, I had to knock off a star.
