Book Reviews of Almost Forever (Sarah)
Book Review: 3 stars for the steamy love scenes, but that's about it!
Summary: 3 Stars
As a new reader of Linda Howard's work, I have so far enjoyed reading almost all of her books. Even though she has a tendency to pair a good female character with a semmingly despicable male character most of the time, the men have redeeming qualities in most of her books. I had thought that "Almost Forever" would be similar. I began reading this book finding Max to be a very refined, dignified British man, who would be well paired with Claire. Then it became clear that Max was entirely too full of himself. This often happens in Howard's books, but most of the time the woman is equally well matched the man, and she leads him to see that his usual tricks won't work with her. Claire, on the other hand, is a real pushover. He bosses her around from day one, and she lets him. I couldn't help but get the feeling that if there were a sequel to this book, we would find Max to be abusing Claire (if, that is, she were to ever get the gumption to even stand up to him at all).In typical Howard fashion, the sex scenes are tremendous. Even though I had my problems with these two characters, it was easy to forget about them during the love scenes. But once the scene was over, Max was back to being the jerk, and Claire back to the subservient little lamb.
If you like the formula of romantic leads being paired together who seemingly have no business even being together in the same room, go for Howard's "Open Season" or "Heart of Fire." In both of these books, the men are highly conceited (much as Max in "Almost Forever"), but they meet their match with these women. These novels have great sex scenes, and much more well-paired characters out of bed as well.
