Title: Four Hundred Seveny Nine pages of Disappointment
Review: I was encouraged to read Brenda Joyce's new book on her past reputation. Sorry, I was disappointed. The story line had a lot of potential but it was too long and dragged on and on with no resolution in the end. It was like Ms. Joyce started writing with a great idea, then she herself lost interest and 300 pages into the story realized she had too may loose ends to tie up. Jill was a lunatic. I kept waiting for Jill and Alex to show some romance, and all I got was rough sex. The story from the 1900's was much better than the contempory. Other reviewers talk about the dialog. I was going crazy with "...she licked her lips". And whole thing with Hal's affection for Kate was weird. I just purchased another Brenda Joyce book. I hope I have a better read with this one.
