Title: Ms. Coulter is slipping in quality
Review: Her novels used to be fun and passionate, if with perhaps a bittoo much violence toward women. Used repeatedly it seems like aneasy-to-invoke plot device.The first clue to quality slips in the Regency/historical offerings were the re-issues of shorter novels as expanded ones. The new Regencies since then are beginning to all sound alike.Every heroine's "eyes cross with lust". Etc.By the time I got to Mad Jack, I was totally confused mid-way through. Simply because the author kept throwing in new elements to separate her main couple. Eventually the two of them seemed like different people in each chapter. I could not imagine how Jack got from an ignorant bride (of things "bridal") to the wisdom-dispensing mature counsellor of her husband over the trauma induced by his mother. When did Jack make THAT transition? The story takes place over a fairly brief period of time.Slow down, Ms. Coulter. It seems like she's hurrying to the bank to deposit royalties.
Is the review positive or negative?
