Review: Temptress - or tormentor?
Was Isobel Herriot a marriage-breaker? Patrick Shannon's sister certainly believed her husband was having a torrid affair with Isobel. But when Patrick paid a visit to Isobel's Cotswold craft shop he couldn't be so sure.How could he reconcile the fact that someone so reserved could also be promiscuous? Or that someone who played down her generous curves could also arouse him to uncontrollable passion? Patrick wasn't interested in a relationship that he couldn't control, but Isobel was beginning to torment him in the wickedest of ways... I liked this book immensely. The reason I gave the book four, not five stars was because the hero's sister, Jillian, is so annoying and it is hard to believe Patrick would let her walk all over him or even resort himself to investigating her husband's affairs personally, however much he may dislike his brother-in law. Also, the ending had a distinctly similar ring to that of "Snowfire", another book which I loved but used the hero's injury to bring the couple together in the end. Besides that, I liked the book. Patrick is a cad but in his struggle over his seemingly genuine feelings for Isobel he redeems himself. Isobel is strong and guarded of her emotions - who wouldn't with a mother like hers? - but she is a nice person. It is not hard to see why cynical Patrick would fall for her. And I just love it when he calls her "Belle" !
