Now don't get me wrong, Lynne Graham is one of my favorite romance writers, but, let me just say this is not her best effort. She is often accused of writing the same book over and over again because she always has a super rich male hero and a poor, naive, beautiful heroine. Her stories are about emotions, usually the man is without them and the woman brimming with them. What is good about them is they really get to your heart and your emotions when you are empathizing with the woman. He believes things that are not true about her because he has believed someone's lies. When he finally finds the truth we are cheering for her. But this is not that book. This one was written from a different point of view and it never gets off the ground. My theory is, if it's not broke don't fix it. She should stick with her powerful, emotional stories and forget about trying to change what she is so good at. In this story the wife believed lies about the husband and left him because of it. After two years away from him she finds out about the lies and then spends the rest of the story chasing after him, which was somehow demeaning to the heroine. Of course, if you are a diehard Lynne Graham fan you will have to read it just because you read all her books, that's what I did. Happy Reading!
