Book Reviews of Valentine Legacy, The (Legacy) (Legacy)
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
This book started out so very good only to evolve into a mish mosh of childish nonsense. The publisher must have given the writer a requirement of so many words to provide because the plot just tumbles along aimlessly to a none too soon ending. The characters are soooo good at first. Does it ever occur to some of these authors that a story can survive without the kidnap/bitchslap/attempted murder of the heroine? You know that the hero will find her in time and then, and only then, realize that he loves her; although he has been having gymnastic sex with her for 245 pages. There is obviously a formula given to the author - ten sex scenes, one attempted rape, two near misses with a coach, bad relatives, indifferent spouse.... You know there could have been a regular story here if someone had bothered to look for it. Just a story about a couple with ordinary problems apparently is too much trouble. Let's throw in Blackbeard. What a joke!
Summary of Valentine Legacy, The (Legacy) (Legacy)
Twenty-year-old Jessie Warfield is branded a disgrace for riding as a jockey on her father's racehorses, wearing men's clothing, exposing her skin to the sun and, in general, not acting like a lady at all.James Wyndham, eligible widower and owner of a nearby horse farm, is Jessie's rival on the race track. Outwardly competitive to the extreme with James, she is secretly in love with him. James, having known her since she was fourteen, sees her only as a little sister and a bratty one at that.
Together they are the unlikeliest romantic duo among their native Baltimore riding set. When Jessie sets out to protect James from a marriage entrapment, she ends up compromising her own reputation and is pressured into leaving town. She flees to an unlikely haven: the estate of James's British cousins, the Earl and "Duchess" of Chase. There she is pampered, dressed, and transformed into a lady. Smitten by the new Jessie, James proposes and they marry.
Their new, shared passion results in hideous nightmares - nightmares that soon reveal themselves to be recovered memories of a long-ago attempted rape and murder. When connections are made between those events and the pirate Blackbeard's diaries, the hunt is on for his buried treasure.
