First off: I got this book as a goodreads giveaway. I always wanted to read something by Sandra Brown and I’m grateful for the signed copy of her book. But, sadly, after reading close to a hundred pages of the novel I have to say that it isn’t mine. There’s certain romance tropes that I can’t stand much, and one of them is to start out with a as irredeemable appearing male main character as possible, and Key, the books male hero, is a role model in that department. Lead character Key hates Lara, our female lead, for, in his mind, ruining his brothers political career by having an affair with him. The hinted on secret behind these events would still have been enough to keep me interested in reading on and swallow the questionable initial behaviour of our “hero”, if this had just been ill directed hatred against Lara, but Sandra takes this a step further and paints him as a troubled to the max, cynical, women despising alpha-male all the females swoon over… And this brings me to the next romance trope I have little patience for: instant lust. Naturally our female lead, Lara, a doctor out of all possibilities, instantly feels a strong sexual attraction to Key when, unrecognised by her at that time, he literally falls into her home at night, heavily wounded and sweat covered… but hey, what’s says sexy more than dripping blood and sweat on the rug, right? The book goes even as far as trying to sell us a short exchange between them which is nothing short of sexual harassment as flirting. If that’s her idea of a flirt, our Doctor should urgently pick up her pride from the floor and visit a Doctor, honestly. I understand that instant lust (same as love on first sight) spares the author to have to spend a lot of time on getting to know each other and relationship building, but in a novel of 500+ pages, who needs short-cuts? Still yet, in spite of my reluctance to put up with such tropes, I would have been tempted to read on, if only to learn more about the faith of secondary character Bowie, who would have a made a much better lead in my opinion. But Sandra spicks her story over these close to hundred pages with more vulgarities than Stephen King uses up in a whole book. I don’t usually comment (much) on language, but when all characters start to sound like they are suffering from a form of Tourette’s syndrome my reading pleasure goes out of the window. Now, obviously some people like this sort of writing more than I do and to them, I’m sure, it’s a good enough story to keep them entertained; for me unfortunately it isn’t.
