Heart Of Gold by Robin Lee Hatcher
This book was really hard to get into. it's not that the writing was bad, actually it was pretty good. But there were all these clichés. Such as how the main character , who is overly wordy-because she just so happens to be the "well bred southerner" coming to the "rugged west"-opinionated, and rich, happens to fall in love with the rough, ungenteel man who feels guilty because he never gave enough attention to his sister, nephew etc. etc.
It's the "timeless story" of Shannon-the main character-coming to the West and learning to be non judgmental and loving, and Matthew Dubois becoming engaged for the sake of his nephew. They of course fall in love with a lot of twists and turn and emotions along the way....I'm not saying all these aspects aren't great in a book, it just seemed like there were too many used ideas. I know that every story is repeated in a different way, but in "Heart of gold" it seemed that the character personalities had been worn out in too many different books, the concept, the morals, the actual story line.... it was all so used.
I suppose it's not a bad book in general. It's just not my style; but it might be yours!
Huh. Maybe I'll check it out.
