Representaion Supposing Books The Determined Virgin
This is a courtship story with a wonderful hero and a sympathetic heroine. To some, that is a beautiful romance. For me, zzzzzzzzzzzz.I know. I'm addicted to drama, angst and OTT situations.
The author did deliver an OTT situation when we learn the heroine's backstory. Not only was she (view spoiler)[ sexually assaulted by her therapist; she was in counselling for being stalked and kidnapped for six days by a mentally ill university student. (hide spoiler)] Oprah's club is missing a book.
Seriously, the structure of this story backfired for me. Because the backstory occurs at the end of the story, the emotional impact of her terrible ordeal lingered with me. Not the hero's sweet courtship nor the heroine's beautiful artwork.
Sorry, author. It's me and not you.

...NOTA: La verdad no sabía como etiquetar este libro. Si como virgin-heroine-harlequin o heroine-sex-experience-but-hymen-intact. Porque si estaba dispuesta a mantener relaciones para escapar (Que lo puedo entender, es una medida desesperada) y en el momento, cuando decide no seguir y el tipo que la mantiene retenida la vuelve a encerrar, desnuda... Pues... Pues... Hasta dónde llegó antes de detenerlo? "Era un hombre enfermo. Ahora está internado en una residencia psiquiátrica explicó Rhiannon,Very angsty story of Rhiannon, an innocent artist who comes to Gabriel Hudson's notice. He is determined to seduce her, but he finds himself acting completely out of character by being sensitive to her traumas as they unfold.I thought this was very well written and I loved the fact that though he did want to seduce her, he realized that Rhiannon had experienced something(s) terrible and decides to go slow. As he came to know her, Gabriel was touched by her humor, her sensitivity and her
3 1/2 Stars ~ If not for the heavy box she was carrying, Rhiannon would have taken the stairs back to her car on the 4th floor of the parking garage. She hates elevators, and burrows herself into the corner when an attractive man joins her. He watches her with interest and when the elevator stops he touches her in offer to carry the box causing her to flinch away from him and stumble. Gabriel is shocked by her reaction and horrified when he sees she's injured. While she accepts his help, he's
Meh.
Now this IS a love story!! Despite its unfortunate title, the love that the H had for the traumatized h really did shine through. I liked it because the whole book was about his trying to win her love and trust even if she was so wary because of events in her past. Unlike other stories where the whole book is conflict and misunderstanding and they only declare they love each other in the end. In this one you could see how the H tried everything in his power to win the heart of the h.
Meh, just not my style, even if it's a nice story. I prefer betrayals and angst.
