Book Review: The Madcap Marriage (Signet Regency Romance)
by Allison Lane
1.0 out of 5 stars Dire and dull
This couple had nothing in common except being members of the human race, though with the way they behaved toward each other that was often debatable.
The author struggled hard to get Rafe to have depth, but he just seemed a shallow playboy, and the potential rape, torture, and murder was just too heavy handed, especially juxtaposed as it was with all of her absurd angst over the slimy worm who let her down.
I hated the heroine, the near-love-making scenes just got to be too much after a while. By the time they did the deed, I could not have cared less about either of them.
With the way the heroine behaved, it was a wonder no one put her in the madhouse before that, she was such a shrew.
This is a badly written failure. And to think it was a top American Library Association recommendation. I think most readers picking this up at the library would be appalled.
