I have only read Castleford's book in this series, but I can tell you, Hunter was absolutely brilliant!<br />Castleford is the star of the book and it was such a joy to read it! The history is funny, romantic, sexy and a kinda acid.. hehehe. You'll enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000966727570904103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-27454603431376740112012-09-24T00:57:39.765+01:002012-09-24T00:57:39.765+01:00I don't know, Susan/DC, Daphne wasn't as c...I don't know, Susan/DC, Daphne wasn't as charismatic and funny as the sly and manipulative Castleford but I thought she was a pretty strong-willed character in her own right. She got Castleford to make a lot of concessions for her (when he had to prove to her he didn't have any STDs I was laughing and going good for her. He made more concessions for her than she did for him. And the revenge she took on you-know-who was quite brave and not the act of a coward. I will give you that realistically somebody with Daphne's past might not be as eager as she was for sexy times with Castleford but he was after all quite considerate and patient with her, and he was after all Castleford, grin.

She comes across as someone with quite a strong backbone in the first three books, definitely not the kind of person to let herself be steamrolled by Castleford.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-40057837453358034282012-09-21T18:27:28.306+01:002012-09-21T18:27:28.306+01:00A little late to the game, but I actually liked Ca...A little late to the game, but I actually liked Castleford much more than I expected when he appeared in his own book. He's smart and funny, and he's more self-aware than he'd like (he in fact works hard not to be too contemplative). But I found Daphne's actions unbelievable because they contradicted her character as presented in the earlier books. She's a sexual pushover, for example. It's bad enough when the first three books show her caring for women who were victims of male manipulation, but when you learn her own backstory, it's even more inexplicable. I'd have liked her, and the book, much more if her relationship with Castleford were more evenly balanced instead of him saying jump and her asking how high.Susan/DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-19843554445589866602012-09-16T20:39:52.891+01:002012-09-16T20:39:52.891+01:00Ok, adding them to my TBR list ;-)Ok, adding them to my TBR list ;-)Seccionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412042139824865664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-37182616027586504062012-09-16T07:41:58.103+01:002012-09-16T07:41:58.103+01:00cyberducks: Since that's exactly how I feel, t...cyberducks: Since that's exactly how I feel, then that sounds great!

Once Castleford got his own book I found him the most interesting of the heroes in that series. He is quite funny and he and Daphne are surprisingly touching together.<br /><br />Though I totally understand that his sexual mores may be too much for a lot of readers. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
