Mistaken Mistress (Harlequin Romance, 3715)

Rating:
Summary: Better than some others
Review: By coincidence I got another book by Ms. Way-- I get these from the 50 cent section at Half Price books or from the library. This showed some development on the part of the author. Her characters in this novel were more compelling and the plot more intricate. The secondary characters were appropriately placed and added to the story. There were still lengthy description throughout the book that were somewhat tiresome to get through. The chemistry between Eden and Lang was dazzling and made the book work for me. There were too many descriptions of jewel-toned eye and hair color for my taste, but it was considerably toned down from The Bridesmaid's Wedding. As with the other novel, the setting was Australian. I actually noted far less vernacular in this novel. The conflict seemed genuine, character-driven, and I liked the non-stereotypical interference of secondary characters in the conflict. There were familial difficulties at work that didn't involve babies. On the whole, I found this book entertaining.
