Safe in My Heart

Summary: Good story
Review: Katherine thought the plans for the future were set - then she learned the plans she thought were shared with the one she loved were not his plans. That resulted in Katherine's acting on impulse and creating seemingly unsurmountable problems - jobless, no references and pregnant. The working out of all this makes a sweet story where true love finally wins - that bad guy gets his and a grandfather pats himself on the back for a job well done.

Summary: Too Stupid To Live Heroine
Review: What a boring book! I've read others of Ms. Michael's works and was glad to note this is an early one.

I read the whole book through but am not sure why. There was nothing lovable about Katherine that I could see. I wanted to slap her about every other page and tell her to get a grip. I haven't seen so much jumping to the wrong conclusions in ages! And is she ever whiny! Even if it is in her head. In fact, what goes on in her head and what comes out of her mouth in interaction with others makes her sound like a split personality.

There is absolutely NO chemistry between Katherine and Stephen! Not emotional and, certainly, not sexual. They lived together for months and only shared one kiss? And this told her how much she really loved him? Sheesh! Spare me!

Another thing that bothered me was that the whole story is told from her point of view. We never get inside of Stephen's head to know what the heck's going on with him. He doesn't appear to be desperate for women so why he wants this loser is beyond me.

In fact, everybody in the whole book is just too one dimensional for me. And too many loose ends were left dangling. I'm not even going to donate this book to the library. Into the trash it goes!

I'm sure happy to know that Ms. Michael's writing skills have improved vastly since she wrote this drivel.
