Emanuel Pinheiro _manuelpde — how to woo a reluctant reader.. 3.5 - 4 stars (undecided whether to choose 3 or 4 above) I generally like/hate SJ's books..they are fun, fast or rather racy reads that I enjoy reading upto a point..somewhat like caramel hard candy..nice to savor initially, but the last bit is rather st(icky) to chew and swallow. The hero in this book leads a double life, somewhat Scarlet Pimpernelish (about 5%.. I love that book too much to make a bigger allusion) and the heroine who has been infatuated with him since she was nine years old (no.. not weird considering that he comforts her at a time when she feels lost, scared and vulnerable) ..anyway she almost but not quite discovers that the hero has secrets to hide and uses that knowledge against him creatively, in a way punishing him for not having the good taste to have fallen madly in love with her:) Creatively..how? by making him the lead character in her gothic novels which she writes using her real name (which naturally increases the "gasp!" value).. oh! but the best part is, by lead character, I mean, the hero is actually the villain in her books and she mixes real life incidents with fiction just enough to annoy him into acknowledging her existence and also add some spice to his own! Minerva is very much the trademark SJ heroine - minxish and manipulative; Giles, the troubled and secretive hero, is attracted to her for who she is rather than wanting her to be an ideal dictated by society and he even tries to get a glimpse into her real self by reading her novels which appears in a ladies journal.. aw! I liked the fact that they share a past and Minerva's brother who is also Giles' best friend senses something behind all the pseudo antagonism enough to warn him off.. titillating! *grin* Well! all that was the good part.. then the story continued in SJ's familiar path of distasteful lies, manipulation, distrust ..using sex as a weapon, love as a synonym for one-upmanship and competition.. and then finally the H&h live happily ever after leaving a reader 'like me' to vacuum and vent just so I don't have to listen to my own diatribe in the noise..but you guys aren't so lucky, if you're reading this;) In this book, Giles is distrustful and holds back the truth from Minerva but he is made to realize how that can be hurtful and he genuinely regrets it later.. Minerva, at the same time has him investigated even after she marries him and again he is made to realize that it is for his own good..hmm!..Actually she has issues because her father had many extramarital affairs but I am still not sure whether having him investigated was the justified solution. This is nothing in comparison to SJ's book with the monkey from India, where both the hero and heroine were so horrible that I created an imaginary secondary romance in my mind for the monkey just to get through the book! yup! this was a fun read initially and an ok to frustrating read, depending on the perspective, towards the end.
