Sunny Chandler's Return

Rating:
Summary: pleasant
Review: I am not a romance reader. I have read a few and they all follow the same formula. I picked this up because I was bored on a trip. I listened to an unabridged version read by Beth MacDonald who was very good.

This story is not bad. Spurned bride flees town to return 3 years later and meets the town sheriff Ty Beaumont - a hunky, allbeit male chauvanistic type male. I like him! (oh no!)

Anyway ... I could have done without the constant touch here , grab there and have more sizzling interative chemistry (which takes skill to write and create!) but all in all I actually enjoyed this book. I would even read another by Sandra Brown sometime.... maybe.

Summary: Boring and Predictable
Review: I have read many of Sandra Brown's novels, and recently read SUNNY CHANDLER'S RETURN's reissue when it came to my library. I have to say that I was really disappointed by this book. There was no real plot, no memorable characters, or even good dialogue. This is by far Sandra Brown's worst book.
*** If you have at least an ounce of feminism in your bones, DO NOT read this book.

Summary: Two Unlikeable Characters Find Each Other and Fall in Lust
Review: This is definitely not Sandra Brown's best book. What in the world did the two main characters see in each other except for physical attraction? I am an avid reader of Sandra Brown's books, and enjoy the way she builds chemistry between the female and male main characters. I didn't feel that there was ever any true chemistry between Sunny Chandler and Ty Beaumont. Sunny seemed to walk around with constant PMS, acting irritable and haughty at the drop of a hat. Ty's self confident arrogance and never ending lecherous remarks made my skin crawl. He deserved to be severely slapped. I did not like either of these characters, and therefore, wasn't interested in the romance. I didn't understand how they could be in love with each other, because other than the sexual chemistry, there really weren't many positive interactions between them. I also thought that all the near-miss sexual encounters between Sunny and Ty got boring and ridiculous.

So, if you're interested in a romance about two very unlikeable, unpleasant characters, this is the book for you. If not, you may want to pass on this one.
