Pure Delights (G K Hall Large Print Book Series (Cloth))

Rating:
Summary: Good Stella Cameron book....
Review: I thought it was a good book, pure Stella Cameron: kinky 'bad guys' characters, sensual 'good guy' characters, slightly looney, eccentric friends.

If you liked Sheer Pleasures, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this book.

Summary: All sex and evil, no romance
Review: Setting -- Contemporary Seattle

Plot-- The granddaughter and grandson of business partners turned bitter enemies become friends, then lovers, when both of their businesses are threatened by forces out of their control. She's a jewelery designer living in a co-op apartment and he's a successful real estate developer living on a houseboat. The menace factor escalates as do the steamy sex scenes.

So why only one star?? -- 1. There's no romantic chemistry between Paris and Tobias. 2. The rest of the characters in the book are pretty unpleasant. 3. There's some really gratuitous rough sex between some of the supporting characters - not fun to read at all (for me). 4. Because I came really close to abandoning this book midway through because I simply didn't care for the good guys and didn't want to waste my time reading about the bad guys.

Still, in fairness, somebody out there likes this book. It's on the Romantic Times Top 200 books of the 80's and 90's and was a Reviewer's Choice nominee. Just wouldn't be on my list.
