Book Reviews of Earth Song
Book Review: Didn't like the hero
Summary: 2 Stars
I think most fans of medieval romance will really enjoy this book. The characters are well fleshed out, there is tons of humor, plenty of action and some really steamy love scenes. But I didn't like the book at all even though I read it in one sitting (I kept hoping that it would get better). Apparently this is my problem since most people seem to love this book. As a woman, the hero is the most important character in the book to me so I have to like him to enjoy the book but, I hated this guy. Here's why:
*warning spoilers*
I don't like my hero's to have sex/love scenes with anyone other than the heroine. Talk about mood killer. There are several here and they are described in detail. In one of them, he even thinks of the heroine. ICK!
I don't like my hero's to verbally abuse the heroine. Once or twice MAY be forgiven, but till the near end of the book? No. Why would anyone love somebody who called them a bit*h? Or someone who constantly made fun of them? Its not funny after a while.
And I don't like hero's who cross the line (or nearly) into rape territory. Its one thing to steal a kiss, but to touch (forcefully) someone intimately? More ICK! The fondling-against-ones-will just gives me the creeps.
So although the hero acted like the typical barbaric medieval man, that doesn't mean I have to like him. I don't read romance for that kind of reality. But some people do, but I don't. If these things don't bother you then read the book, you'll probably love it. Otherwise skip it and read something by Julie Garwood instead. Her hero's are strong without being condescending jerks.
