The Pride of Jared MacKade by Nora Roberts
3.0
The Pride of Jared MacKade
3 Stars
It is a testament to Nora Roberts' writing that this story was enjoyable despite the fact that the heroine is utterly unlikable and unappealing.
Savannah Morningstar is quite simply a B*TCH and I never use that word lightly! Not only is she rude and obnoxious, but she is prejudiced and vindictive as well. The reasoning is that her actions are ostensibly a defense mechanism, but this is insufficient to explain her inexcusable behavior.
Jared MacKade is stubborn and proud but he certainly hasn’t done anything remotely bad enough to deserve Savannah as his heroine. Even his obvious double standards when it comes to men and women don’t warrant this.
The story of the civil war antagonists which bothers so many reviewers is actually one that I enjoyed. Nevertheless, it is underdeveloped and the connection to the modern day characters is tenuous at best.
Hopefully the next installment will provide more of a link.
