Negative Positive
Title: The heroine changes midway through the book.
Review: Beth, the headstrong feminist heroine, is incredibly likable in the beginning of this book. She's witty, she's strong, she's unimpressed with Lucien (who is entirely too impressed with himself) and she's independent. After they marry, she becomes co-dependent to the degree that after he hits her, she covers up for him! Lies to his parents, etc. THEN, as if that were not strange enough, she asks him to take her to meet his mistress. Does that seem like it's in character? That Beth would be comforting HIM after he hits her (and taking the blame), and that after a scene like that, she'd want anything to do with him? But wait, there's more to stretch your credulity! After that slap, Beth wants to meet Lucien's mistress, and they become friends, of course! Can we have romance heroines who have a little self-respect back? Thanks.
