Storm Centre

by Charlotte Lamb

i am usually a great fan of charlotte lamb,but this one i didnt care for.the scene in which he slapped her "till her head almost snapped off her neck" and then slapped her again i found very offensive.and never did he apologise.considering that he told her he would have forgiven her for the cheating,i think it was hypocritical of him to then be slapping her.that is abuse and i think the author needed to acknowledge that.also,when he demanded at the end that she not go visit her father,but he must come to her,was also very arrogant and spoke of his insecurities and lack of trust and respect for her.i agree with the father-men like him view women as possessions,and all the sex appeal in the world shouldnt disguise that or domestic violence.that she was the one who went to him in the middle of the night instead of having him come to her was not in any way romantic to me.sorry,but ms.lamb drop the ball with this one to me.handsome he may have been,charming?not.just egotistical

Season Of Mists

by Anne Mather

anne mather has long been one of my favorite authors,but this book was not.what was wrong with this guy?did he have a fetish for young girls.he lusted after her when she was just 16,he 6 yrs older,taking her virginity.now at39,he is engaged to a 24 yr old.and to have so arrogantly accepted that it wasnt his son when he knew she had been a virgin,and calling her "oversexed",only seem like he needed an excuse to get off the hook.there are men who even if they have some doubts,will still love the child because they love the mother,not to coldheartedl ignore them for years.he just seemed like a wimpy mother's boy.and she was not so smart either.why would you brag to his mother that you slept with him,when she thinks you a tramp?it is indicative of so many womens' thinking,that you are irresistible.no,it is just a man lusting.and if you are willing?of course he will take.after 10 yrs,it was so easy for him to get her back into bed.come on.where is the selfrespect.i think there are times the writers try to confuse us with romance and the sex appeal of the men too much without giving thought to negative messages that are being sent.you cant tell me these people live happily ever after when they havent had one proper conversation with the man respecting the woman and not just rolling her into bed.
