Like his mother for example was an author and she managed to balance work and family. And according to the main character it was alright for women to be ambitious but not too ambitious. Apparently both Kay and Rachel are bitches for being ambitious and they can't handle having a career and a family. Clearly Alex is a little insane to put it lightly.Īnd every time an ambitious woman is described the adjectives "cold and hard and unloving and shrewd" or other synonyms of the same words are used. This is not even the first time he feels like slapping a female he feels that way about his sister when she says something he disagrees with. How she offered to pay half the bill and it made him want to "half slap her and half rip her clothes off" tell me what exactly is so sexy and charming about a man who not only feels emasculated that a woman wants to pay her half of the bill but also clearly has some domestic violence tendencies. Starting from the beginning when they introduce Alex and talk about how he met his ex wife. So first of all let's talk about all the instances of complete and utter misogyny in the book. PLEASE DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE STORY. But leaving a book unfinished will bother me so I won't do that (no matter how bad this gets).
I have half a mind to stop reading it and start something new. I don't understand how this book has so many good reviews I have absolutely no hopes for this story to improve. All the characters annoy me and I'll shortly be going into a detailed rant as to why exactly that is. I keep giving it the benefit of doubt thinking it'll get better soon but it just doesn't. But leaving a book unfinished will bother me so I won't do t I am currently 56 pages into this book and I absolutely cannot stand it. I am currently 56 pages into this book and I absolutely cannot stand it. This story also reminded me of Ralph & Phyllis with some major differences though.more Did Alex & Raphaella get married? Have kids? What happened with Amanda or Kay? Too many unanswered questions. That's what I wanted to know about this book. Is that you see so much of the main characters struggles but then when everything is resolved and they get back together, the book is over. One thing that did bother me and she does this in a lot of her books. Did Alex & Raphaella get married? Have kids? What happened with Amanda or Kay? Too many unan I don't know what it is about her books that suck you in, especially when 90% of the time you know what is going to happen. I don't know what it is about her books that suck you in, especially when 90% of the time you know what is going to happen. (And a class act.) I really think if you are seeking a GOOD Steel book this is the first one to select.more Love the twist and the husband (whose name I cannot remember.sorry).is one of the kindest characters I've read about. This book is not all romance as there is an unexpectedly deeply dark and disturbing side plot involving young adult rape. It is her best work that I have read so far. I do not read alot of romance but this is one I read a long time ago and have reread. So Perfect Stranger is just an all around cool book. It made the location scenes romantic, exotic and adds a touch of glamour to an already wonderful book. The Pacing was great and I love the French aspect to the story. But this book got me involved in the story and made me root for Alex and Raffi. I love the Historical element, I love the premise of love at first site and I love Raphiela.
My favorite of the Steel books I have read. It made the "It was difficult to imagine being in love anymore, caring deeply about someone, difficult to imagine looking into someone's eyes and wanting to explode with joy." SPOILERS: The Pacing was great and I love the French aspect to the story.
"It was difficult to imagine being in love anymore, caring deeply about someone, difficult to imagine looking into someone's eyes and wanting to explode with joy." A Perfect Stranger by Danielle Steel My favorite of the Steel books I have read.
