MaryLynn P. (chewy26) reviewed Good Grief what a weak main character. on 5/16/2009 + 5 more book reviews

I love the helpless defenseless female lead like anyone. I mean, we all enjoy being rescued, but never have I seriously hated the female lead like I did Haven. God, It even pains me to have to write about it. The only GOOD thing about this book was Harvey, the male lead. Kleypas' description of him is pure poetry, and his actions through out the book left me breathless.

Don't get me wrong, I do feel for women in abusive relationships, but it gets to be tiresome when a woman makes a mistake and then finally gets help, only to refuse help over and over again for fear that she appears weak. I felt more and more frustrated as I turned each page. In the end, I actually wanted her to be written off. I felt Harvey could do better.

So, don't read this book for the character development. There is none. Read this book for the steamy love scenes (although it takes FOREVER to get there) and the all male essence that is Harvey. Yumm.
