El mercenario profesional Dare Macintosh tenía una regla que aplicaba a rajatabla: los negocios no debían convertirse nunca en un asunto personal. Si el motivo y el precio eran de su agrado, aceptaba la misión que le estuvieran ofreciendo. Sin embargo, cuando la encantadora Molly Alexander le pidió que la ayudara a encontrar a los hombres que la habían secuestrado, Dare sintió por primera vez la tentación de combinar trabajo y placer. Molly era una mujer muy independiente, y se había jurado que no confiaría en nadie hasta que hubiera descubierto la verdad. ¿Podría ser su padre, un hombre poderoso de quien estaba distanciada, el enemigo que la amenazaba? ¿O su antiguo prometido, que todavía estaba resentido con ella? ¿O un lector y admirador contrariado por sus novelas? A medida que el peligro iba cercándolos, Dare se convirtió en el único apoyo de Molly. Sin embargo, lo que sentía por él podía ser lo más peligroso de todo… This was a solid read but nothing really lifted it out of the ordinary. The heroine didn't have any real TSTL moments but she didn't have anything really outstanding in her personality that would make me remember her as a heroine after the book is over. There weren't any of the funny bits that I know Ms. Foster is capable of. The suspense was okay but a bit slow moving. A lot of the story was the relationship between Dare and Molly. Dare was not as fully developed as Molly so you didn't know him as well. We didn't know his history. For example what is his relationship with Chris? Why are they such friends? He says they've known each other for 20 years and they love each other so obviously there is a story there. There was a bit of self biographical stuff in the book where Molly talks about the bad reviews one of her books received. In view of the bad reviews any long time reader of LF knows she received for one of her recent books, that was just a little too obvious for me. Especially since some of the words out of her month are the exact same as words that I received when I corresponded with LF about said book. (My letter, while it expressed my disappointment with the book, was polite and appreciative of all the other books of hers that I've enjoyed over the years). So seeing those exact words come out of Molly's mouth knocked me out of the story and made me think "Look! a writer writing about writing." I loved Molly and Dare, and Chris and the dogs. Everyone is rational and honest and competent. Molly and Dare's relationship had a sweetness that did not dilute the hotness, and I appreciate that balance. That said, the obstacle, the situation that set everything in motion, was absurd for a modern story. I don't want to include spoilers, so I will just say that the perceived scandalous behavior here would not have been considered particularly scandalous any time in the last 100 years. Since the story is built around this anachronism it bugged me a lot. But still, Molly and Dare 4eva. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
