Title: Oh, how I lament the bygone days...
Product review: In I Thee Wed, the characters fall flat, crushed under a forced "gothic" aura and oppressed by the "witty" banter. It was clear from the first few chapters who the villain would be; the secondary characters, while trying to be amusing, were merely annoying.While not as laughably, depressingly god-awful as With This Ring, I Thee Wed does not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as with Quick's past works, like Mistress, Rendezvous, Scandal, etc. It's a trend with Quick that she uses formulic characters (i.e., the dark, tortured hero, the virginal, sweetly valient heroine) but somehow, starting with Affair, the formula has become noticeably unbalanced. I don't hold much hope for Wicked Widow, and frankly, I am not sure I want to read any more Quick after my these last two cringe-worthy, money-wasting efforts.
