Passion Becomes You (Harlequin Presents, No 1752)

Rating:
Summary: Good Michelle Reid
Review: From the back: From their first meeting, Jemma had known that forever wasn't in Leon Stephanades's vocabulary. She was inexperienced, but the passion between them was so powerful that she cast her doubts aside and agreed to Leon's demand of a no-strings affair. Soon Jemma was head over heels in love, and couldn't imagine that she'd ever be the one to end the idyll...Until she found out that her love for Leon was to have a lasting price - and it meant having to let him go...
I enjoyed this book, but as Michelle Reids go, this is not the best. Sure there's loads of passion, but it takes a while for the love. I really have always enjoyed how Michelle Reid's works have both, with quite a bit of mistrust, jealousy, and anger tossed in to keep things interesting. This book was just lacking too much on the love side, IMO. Still, an enjoyable book.

Review: I loved the book. It was the best harlequin book I have read thus far. Michelle Reid's way of creating and developing the character of Jemma and Leon is outstanding. After reading "Passion Becomes You" you just feel like moving to Greece to find your own Leon. I have read over 200 hundred Harlequin Romance Novels and no one can compare to Michelle Reid. Also check out Ring of Betrayel also by Michelle Reid it was excellent.

Summary: What's with the 4 & 5 stars reviews?
Review: Now listen. I am a Michelle Reid fan & I enjoy her writing because it's always a cut above the usual Harlequin crud. But this novella is not 4 or 5 stars. The heroine is pretty weak-willed (and a virgin, untypical of Reid); the hero is typical alpha-male. The plot is nothing special. But because it's Michelle Reid it moves along briskly and without TOO much pap from the heroine (her finest moment: quitting her job because her boss is gleeful over his girlfriend's abortion), and I didn't get annoyed until close to the end. It's not a keeper, but it's Michelle so I'd give it a C+.
