Book Reviews of Awaken, My Love (Brava Historical Romance)
Book Review: Lovely Even with a Limp!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Robin Schone's writing style. Not overly contrived and flowery, and not flat and boring--just right!. She strongly describes her characters mentally which in-turn, in my opinion, gives the reader the power to improvise in other areas where light description is used, which we are fully capable of doing.
I liked Elaine filling in as Morrigan, still a bit stuffy even though she is from our era,contemporary, she still has 20th century hang ups---doesn't have a model figure is shy about being naked, some things never change whatever century you come from I would expect. Also not everyone is having flagrant oral sex--she is a bit taken aback when Charles makes the move. She is savvy enough to be conservative at first with her speech, she is morally not ready to commit adultery (more of the mind than the body!. I would have been colossally disappointed if she had come in and blown everyone away with her 20th century values and brain, she would have been on the next carriage to Bedlam.
Charles, fantastic guy, pretty much everything a hero should be. Many times the men characters get the standard big tough guy, strong mentally and physically,( yes this is important, no short fat guys that definitely would not sell). I thought perhaps towards the end we didn't see enough of Charles' full emotional process with this wifely insanity aspect. We get a pretty good indication with Charles and I loved the fleshing out of his character, I could have heard more and more. I felt that we got a little short-changed on his full thought process when we got to the insanity business. I wanted to delve into his mind, him putting 2 and 2 together or his suffering as he went over and over things in his mind. He was definitely an emotional and thinking individual (Pam Rosenthal's `Almost a Gentleman has a good solid character something like this--love that guy also!) and that is what made him so strong. I happen to think that the scene outside the stables where Charles tells Elaine/Morrigan to dress warmly for dinner because it's going to be a chill night(he's pissed)--then he pivots walks away whistling is the best. It was so thunderclap clear in my brain when I read it that I had to read it over.
I will definitely buy more from this author, she has a captivating writing style as well as intelligent and carefully considered content.
