Secondbest husband Romance Penny Jordan 9780263771718 Books

It was a good read except for the first half or even quarter of the book, I had to read the same thing over and over - the heroine's thoughts on her unrequited love and the mean things her bosses fiancé said to her. Over and over and over. I mean, I got it.

Secondbest husband Romance Penny Jordan 9780263771718 Books Reviews

Sara has been in love with Ian, her boss, for years. Now that he is engaged to someone else, she quits her job to go back to the comfort of her parents' home and lick her wounds. Before she left, though, a friend suggested that if she truly felt herself unlikely ever to fall in love again, she should marry someone with similar values for companionship and to start the family she has always wanted. When she gets to her parents' home she meets and befriends Stuart, her parents' new next door neighbor and an attractive man about her own age. Unlike in any other Penny Jordan romance I have ever read, Sara and Stuart develop their friendship from positions of equal strength and honesty. They find that they are kindred spirits and, as suggested by Sara's friend, decide to marry and start a family. However, unbeknownst to Sara, Ian's engagement has been called off and now he has come looking for her...
This book was LAUGHABLY bad. I mean, really horribly, laughably bad. And, excuse me, another reviewer said this book has a strong heroine?? Sara is a WIMP. We get page after page of her self-berating introspection. She's quietly and patiently loved her selfish, arrogant, people-using boss, for TEN, count 'em, TEN years! And Sara doesn't even realize for HERSELF that he's a user; she needs her boss' bitchy fiancee to tell her so.

So FINALLY she leaves her job & goes home to recover from her raging masochism, and meets Stuart the dull-as-dishwater (but handsome) hero. Thanks to her parents' efforts to fix them up they get married...their growing romance is about as dull and stupid as these characters are...the novel is basically written from Sara's POV, so you never figure out why Stuart would be attracted to this wishbone-for-backbone heroine. Romance novels like this only end up annoying the stuff out of me. Because they have such transparent plots & unrealistic, SILLY characters. What a waste of my time.

Oh, yes, don't let me forget to tell you, that after setting up Sara's boss "Ian", as a crappy, selfish man with a heart of stone, the author makes Ian come looking for Sara (admittedly he only wants her back as a secretary, but don't you think a phone call would have been more realistic than his coming all the way out to her parents' place?) This ultra-dumb plot twist was just one more obvious effort by the author at keeping the H/H from admitting their "love" for a little while longer, because of course Stuart sees Ian and Sara talking, & draws the wrong conclusion.

This story is definitely NOT one of Ms. Jordan's better efforts.
excellent
I've read this many times. Stuart keeps bringing me back. He makes my heart melt. Sara drives me nuts and I skim through her mental repetition. I find this with most Penny Jordan books. I love the heroes and have to put up with the heroine.
