Clancey was refreshing as a Palmer heroine. She had faced
hard times, yes. She had a health issue, yes. She was terrified of men, double
yes. She was naïve in a way that made absolutely no sense, but of course. But
she didn’t shy away from her life. She didn’t bemoan her situation; she took
action to look after herself. She had a sense of humour that was applicable to
her surroundings. She didn’t hold out foolish hope that someone would fix
things for her.
Banks also was a refreshing Palmer hero. He didn’t pick on,
belittle, abuse, or bully Clancey. They were co-workers, and he enjoyed her
company at work, but didn’t really pay attention to her otherwise. Until he
did, and then he started to take notice of all sorts of things. He supported
her, comforted her, and he got to know her. And he liked her, was attracted to
her, and the more he got to know her, naturally, organically, he fell in love
with her
Of course, there is a bad guy, and things come to a head.
But even with that, the suspense and story on the mystery, was fresh and not
worn out and re-played. This was a very good, very nice, romantic suspense,
with hints of enemies to lovers, and a well-paced slow burn to the HEA!
We all know that Diana Palmer books come infused with her
belief structure, and this one is no different, but on a different level. She
plays down the ‘pureness’ of our heroine and her dedication to being ‘out of
sync’ with the times. She actually has a religious zealot in the middle of on
the story arc’s, and how out of sync she is with her normalcy. No, this time,
it is climate change. How, greenhouse gases aren’t to cause for the changing
climate, because, you know, the ice age happened and there were no factories. Climate
change is just a normal, natural, way of the earth. You know you are going to
get it, and it was refreshing to see something new. Always watch the crazy, at
the very least, for the comedic statements, and the very most, to see the blatant
stupidity. Can’t turn away from it though, so it is my car crash, train wreck, daytime
tv drama!
