Infamous Review
I haven't picked up a Henley book in over a year and I was saving this title for a rainy day. My goodness, has our beloved author lost her touch, or was this just an "ooops"?This story had some promise in the beginning, but swiftly lost its luster and became boring and tedious. Henely always includes much history in her novels, which is interesting, but not so much this time around.
Overused phrases like "ethereal beauty", "my magic man", "liquid tremors" and even her catchphrase of "I have quite made up my mind!" that I assume was meant to be charming...just wasn't and turned silly and redundant.
Our heroine, Jory, didn't seem brave or headstrong as the author tried to make the reader believe. She was so easily adaptable to any situation thrust at her and ridiculously green in her supposed selfless acts. Even her anger lacked spine. I know Ms. Henley was trying to create a character different from her usual *hellcat*, but her attempt just fell short of the mark and there was no charm left.
Our hero, Guy de Beauchamp, wasn't strong enough. They made constant reference to the age difference, and he seemed sort of doddering, lovesick and infinitely malleable. He waited by the sidelines for five years to get what he so desired? Not what I'm used to from Henley at all! Her male characters typically would have gone out and dragged their ladylove back no matter the consequences. This Infamous warrior was trying to be respectful of her wishes? That of a 17 year old girl? Please! I was waiting patiently for him to take control of the situation and stop Jory from making such mistakes with her life. By the time the two get together, she was well used by others and to be honest, treats Guy with the same level of devotion as she showed her other mates. I didn't believe in this romance for one minute!
Oh well, every author is allowed a dud. I guess this one was it for Virginia Henley.
