Title: Are her leading men getting wimpier??
Review: This book had some terrific moments, but with the peaks, come the valleys. Some parts vapid, others repetitive. How many times can the man's loins fill and swell before he does something about it? Another quirk I've noticed in her last two books that somewhat annoys me is how often the hero's eyes fill with tears. C'mon Joyce, we still like real men, quit making them so soft. You'll notice the same pattern in Stolen Bride with Sean O'Neil's character. Aside from that, it had a good setting, plot and the characters actually got to know one another over a reasonable amount of time. I also like the way Rex and Blanche were subtly written in (teaser for the next de Warren installment). It wasn't a bad read, you'll know when your hitting a plateau and those pages are easy enough to skim.
