Negative Positive
Title: Dream on...
Review: I realize this is one of Diana Palmer's older books, but the relationship between secretary Eleanor and ranch owner Curry bothered me. He was incredibly verbally abusive to her and she just took it and excused it. In the 2007 era the way Curry treated Eleanor would be verbally and emotionally abusive. So I guess based on that perspective I found myself asking myself why any woman in her sane mind would have stuck around to endure two weeks (her notice) of his actions. This was not what I would term a healthy relationship. I realize the author is getting from A to Z in the relationship in 200 plus pages, but puh-leez, can't we allow the female lead more dignity than to think so little of herself that she would put up with someone like this? But police, social workers and the like have been dealing with abused women and their refusal to leave an abusive relationship for decades--guess this is why Eleanor stayed. She loved him and was willing to endure his treatment of her.
Is the review positive or negative?
