He could be more sorry....

So the heroine was immature and hysterical in her reactions to what she perceived as his infidelity, but if he wanted trust and patience from her, shouldn't the hero also have reacted in kind? He was too proud, He was thrown in a situation that he didn't know how to deal with, It wasn't his fault that he was so DENSE~! Really? And then the heroine goes and justifies all of his actions for him, forgiving him. Granted, she's not the worst kind of doormat that you would see in a lot of Lynne Graham's HP books - which unfortunately, happens much more often than I would be willing to stomach - but towards the end, I began to wonder where the proud, self-righteous woman had gone to. Is it wrong that my favorite characters in this book were the level-headed Donald and (the secretly romantic) Freddy?

This is one that holds you from the first sentence to that last! ....

Mistress and Mother by Lynne Graham Harlequin Presents # 1937 - February 1998 Molly had been devastated when she discovered on her wedding day that her husband was in love with another woman and that he'd married her only for the babies she could give him. So before the marriage could be consummated she left him, and the next morning the papers produced a photo of him leaving his lovers apartment that very morning. It's now four years since the annulment, and Molly finds herself stranded by a winter storm alone with her ex-husband. And Sholto wants his wedding night. And when the passion is sated, Sholto makes it very clear that he was only exacting revenge for her leaving him. Weeks later Sholto blackmails Molly into living with him, in exchange he'll forgive the debts her brother owes him; should she refuse her brother and his family will be bankrupt. Ms. Graham always writes such intensely emotional stories. Sholto is a strong, alpha hero that tries very hard to hide his vulnerabilities. And he has them, esp. where Molly is concerned. Ms. Graham through various flashbacks artfully drew the picture of Sholto's courtship of Molly, their engagement and the horrible wedding night that ended their marriage. Molly's grown up a lot since then, and sees her own actions and those of Sholto in a different light. This is one that holds you from the first sentence to that last!
