Title: Appearances are Everything, Even When Destitute
Review: This was not a horrible book, however there was never a true relationship established between the hero and the heroine. I liked Gina but her constant "there is a silver lining" attitude became tiresome for me. When I think of a good romance I think of books by Judith McNaught, Madeline Hunter, and Stephanie Laurens (although she can be repetitive). The characters in those books develop relationships that are truly founded on for better or worse. In order for the reader to feel the connection between the hero and the heroine it needs to be experienced with them and not told in pages upon pages of internal reflections. Dialog is very important in developing the characters, it provides interaction and sets a tone for the book. There was not a lot of dialog in this book. A few lines here and there but a good portion of the book was internal thoughts.
