Negative Positive
Title: Very Disappointing!
Review: Unfortunately, I cannot agree with my fellow readers' rave reviews. "Marriage in Haste" started out wonderfully, but it fell apart towards the middle and became almost painful to read at the end. Unfortunately, while the initial plot is very promising (I loved Tess's dare to the other debs), the romance between the characters is sappy and only just this side of believable. Further, the supporting characters are weak. They are poorly developed, shallow copies of the kinds of characters that many romance authors use to enhance their stories. "Marriage in Haste" had a lot of promise in the beginning, but was terribly trite in the end. Given the glowing reviews her work generally receives, I may try another Maxwell book in the hope that this was just a poor sample of her work.
Is the review positive or negative?
