Review Can’t Stop Loving You by Bette Ford
Temptation in paradise
Smart, sexy, successful Laura Murdock never mastered the fine arts of loving and trusting. Taking a well-deserved vacation from her work at a Detroit women’s crisis center, she’s prepared for three glorious weeks in the Virgin Islands. What she’s not ready for is Wilham Sebastian Kramer.
A brilliant artist, Wilham is pure magic—as bold and bewitching as his remarkable paintings. When Laura agrees to pose for him, she realizes she’s stoking a fire too hot for either of them to control. So she runs from his arms, driven away from quite possibly the perfect man by a lifetime of cruel lessons.
But the flame will not die—and the memory of their sweet and sultry island magic haunts her sleepless nights, tempting her back. Yet Laura is far too wise and much too stubborn to admit she desires this man with all her soul. After all, she knows pain and heartbreak always follow surrender . . . don’t they?
Have you ever read a book that had a heroine that was so unlikeable, so unsympathetic, so flighty and distracting, and stupid that it literally makes you hate the entire book. Laura is that character, this is that book. She is so distracting and so dumb that it ruins the novel. Laura is shallow, flighty, confused, she doesn’t know herself so she can’t know anyone else. She pretends to know everything and misses the most key parts of every situation and circumstance. She is so self absorbed she is a self proclaimed pseudo gold digger and she doesn’t even recognize that about herself. She claims to have this long list of likes and dislikes, but there is nothing worse than a shallow character and even worst than that is a shallow character who is a shallow person.
Just avoid unless you like feeling angry, frustrated and pissed.
