Silhouette Romance #819: Evan

Having only read about Evan in the previous book, Harden, I was looking forward to reading his story. However in the beginning I was surprised at how cruel he was to Anna, I could understand it somewhat, but it was just a little too harsh to take sometimes. However it got better towards the middle of the story and I could get over that. I was a bit surprised that he was only 6'4, which I know isn't short, but I always imagined he was taller since he had such a hangup about his size, like around 6'7 or so. Some minor things bothered me some, like the way he woke her up from her coma, which was unbelievable, as well as her talking to her mother about sex so candidly. I never would have talken to my mother about those things so openly. =P Still the chemistry between the two was sizzling to say the least and I was left feeling that it was a good story with a good ending and I enjoyed it immensely even with the little flaws. It was nice to have a heroine with more spine in this story! 4.5/5

Maybe I'm biased, as Evan is so close to the man of my dreams, but I found this to be a really really good book. There was nice continuity from the other tremayne brother books, and Evan is such a good hero. The woman/girl was great too; she was no push over, and she carried out her decisions with dignity. The secondary characters were all great--definitely a keeper!
