This one was a lot of fun! Though strangely, I kept envisioning the heroine as Evie, the heroine from The Mummy. But whatever, it worked for me.

The odd thing is, despite the fact that I'd guess 65% or so of the book was told from the heroine's POV, I felt more involved in the hero. His life just seemed to have so much more depth. Hers was... I don't know. Dutiful. She really had never strayed outside of her role. And I know that's not atypical of HR, but usually the heroine has some thing - a quirk, or an event in their past, or something - that flavors their life and personality with something that makes it uniquely theirs. But I feel like you could swap Lydia out for a dozen other people and the story would be the same.

That sounds like I don't like it, but that's not true - I thought it was a fun, fast read. And I really liked James's story. It was not what I expected it to be. His father, his sister, they weren't who you think they are.

Definitely enjoyable, and I am looking forward to more Meredith Duran. :)
