This review is from: Moonflower (Paperback)
Usually I am the biggest fan of Virginia Brown, but this particular novel penned in the early 80s lacked her ability to make your like or even love her characters. Personally, I disliked both the hero and heroine. Yes, the book contained the usual Virginia Brown wit and humor and of course the spunkiest strong-willed heroine ever penned. She was an archeologist and anthropoligist rolled into one; sort of a female Indiana Jones, however, famed Indiana Jones whip and hat could not best Cordell, Indian friend and foe, scout and gunslinger. Even with the few laughs that Cordell managed to pull out of me, I found it very difficult, well, to tell the truth, I found it quite easy to dislike this hero. He was abusive, callous, sarcastic, and downright evil in my personal opinion. And I'm no fan of 'sappy love stories'. I like a dominant hero whom is strong in character, however, I found Cordell, strong in stupidity. He was too loud, too boastful and too outspoken. He definitely WAS NOT the strong silent type.
Happy readings!
