Hero deserves a better chick.Ī second sideplot with the man MfH wants for her daughter and his affair with the h's best friend works into the story. She uses the time old trope of a bad heart to win the heroine over leaving the H, the fiancee in the dust. Plus it gives her the leverage needs to set her evil plot in motion.ĭestroying the engagement is key for MfH, and she not only accomplishes that, but conns her idiot daughter the h into taking her on a cruise and being her caretaker for the next six weeks. MfH is more upset that the OW wore department store clothes to the engagement party than she is about the cheating. I hate cheating in a book, but the man deserves a medal. Sideplot is the h's dad meets the H's mom, and they end up falling in love and having an affair. Arranged marriages are the thing in this contemporary community which explains why the h's dad has been in a marriage without sex for 20 years. If MfH has anything to say about it, the h will marry the man the MfH chose even if he doesn't want to marry the h anymore than she wants to marry him. I am sorry to say it is Dallas, but we can't have everything.
The h wisely found a hunky man outside the constrained small Ohio town and will be moving to Texas after she gets married, yeehaw. The pretty bland heroine has the Mother from Hell and an okay dad. Bad mothers are my kryptonite among other tropes, and this one gave me plenty to chew on. However, in this case Jackson's bad mother trumps even the most annoying and manipulative one that Novak has created.
They are NOT the same, but they both do bad mothers very well. I saw "Brenda" and that there was a bad mommy in one of the reviews and got Brenda Jackson and Brenda Novak mixed up.
