A Hero For Sophie Jones The Jones Gang Silhouette Special Edition No 1196 Christine Rimmer 9780373241965 Books

Rimmer's Jones Gang series, #9.

Largely likeable characters in a standard Category Romance plot: the cynical hero out to deceive the innocent heroine for gain. As usual, Rimmer handles the pacing of the expected plot points a little differently, meaning it does surprise you occasionally. And we get time with the hero's thoughts and emotions, allowing us to understand and forgive him from the beginning.

The author did something she almost never does: introduced two secondary characters who existed only long enough to cause a problem, then exit stage left. They weren't really people, just a prop to advance the story, and I expect better of her work. But this was a minor complaint.

Two things stood out for me. The first was a character issue, the author and the hero pointing out in the second half that generosity was not the same thing as sharing. In other words, the heroine had something to learn about power equality, too. It was interesting.

SPOILER ALERT: The second thing was just semantics, but it impacted how I felt about the end story. The heroine calls the hero by his full name, Sinclair, until she discovers his deception. Then, she calls him by the same name as everybody else, Sin. I thought that once she forgave and reconciled with him, she would go back to Sinclair. But she never did. I don't know if Rimmer was trying to convey that Sophie accepted him for who he really was, but I think he liked being Sinclair, not Sin. It made me a little sad, which is not how I like to end a romance.

A Hero For Sophie Jones The Jones Gang Silhouette Special Edition No 1196 Christine Rimmer 9780373241965 Books Reviews

I didn't have the time to read this book and decided to try to sneak in a chapter at a time, but once started, it was impossible to put down. As always, Rimmer writes from the heart. Warm, interesting, real people that you care about and truly believe belong together. Best of all you believe their happy ending is real.
I couldn't grasp the characters in the book. At first Sophie came off as a bossy, self centered woman. Yes, she was kind hearted to everyone, but she just kept pushing Sinclair about one thing or another. Where Sinclair, for being this hard pushing, relentless man who only wants Sophie off his land so he can build a new home and start a ranch on his families old homestead, seemed mousy and a push over. Not until towards the end of the book did the characters turn over to the people, I think, that they were suppose to be portrayed as from the start. Very confusing to me. I didn't really find this a "romantic" story. There was no romance. They were in bed the second time they were together. I enjoy that sexual anticipation and frustration in a romance book, and this had none.
I liked the story until the end where I felt it just died. There was so much more to this love story that needed to be finished, I felt his dreams and her's needed to be blended into a true love story partnership. It left me wanting.
