The Ugly Duckling Debutante by Rachel Van DykenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is my first book by this author, to tell the truth it was god but not that great.
In here I liked the Heroine more than the Hero, she was like a solid pillar that can't be tipple, she might get bruised and scratch but she will never fall or crumble. But the Hero was a different matter, throughout the book he sounded like a hypocrite: he wants he, but says he doesn't. He demands her trust, but doesn't give his. He was so afraid of pain, rejection and humiliation, and never gave a second thought about how she felt or what she wanted.
Honestly, I think the Hero was given a huge slack at the end, he deserved a bit more for what he did to her, but what did he get .. nothing. The Heroine was a paragon of forgiveness, he killed a man and she stuck with him, she discovered the dead man was her real father, and still she stayed with him. And HIM!! he discovered she was a bastard and poof he's gone like he was the victim and it was there second day as a married couple. I really hated him at that part cause he ruined the whole thing, when they finally became happy together.
The second best thing in this book, after the heroine, was that it was quick. The chapters were quick and short, no over embellishing the details and such matters, it was a good balance.
Overall, *thumps 3/4 up*
