Petals in the Storm

While I managed to finish this book, I just didn't enjoy it as much as [b:The Bargain 115817 The Bargain (Regency #1) Mary Jo Putney http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171714874s/115817.jpg 111539]. The hero and heroine are trying to hurt each other even as they fight their feelings for each other and struggle with the memories of their past romance. The way they hurt one another in the past was a series of traumatic events for the heroine that I just couldn't believe anyone would be able to get past it. I wanted to like this book more, but as it stands, it just gets an “OK” from me.Favorite passage: Maggie glanced away, not wanting to deal with what lay beneath [Robin's] teasing tone. “Before I return to England, I'm going to acquire an entire wardrobe of gowns that come up to my throat. It's tedious to have men always talking to one's chest rather than one's face.”
