Title: A Case Of Trying Too Hard
Review: Although I thoroughly enjoyed the "The Remarkable Miss Frankenstein," I can not say the same for "The Reluctant Miss Van Helsing." Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't a romance novel contain some romance. Asher's constant lascivious thoughts about Jane made me feel dirty given his obvious contempt for her. It is unfortunate that the author felt the need to beat the reader over the head with Jane's lack of external beauty as if we are too stupid to grasp the simple concept. Did that fact truly need to be reiterated 5 or 6 times in each chapter by everyone she came in contact with. We get it; she's not beautiful, and she's not considered worthy to be with Asher nor is she considered worthy to be a Van Helsing. Also, the author seemed overly concerned with getting laughs that quickly became extremely irritating. I mostly just felt very sad for Jane's part in a verbally abusive life.
