Pertenece a las seriesRichard and Rose (7)
Life is cheap. So is death. Richard and Rose, Book 7 With Rose expecting again, it should be a joyous time for her and Richard. Yet old enemies and new come out of the woodwork, seemingly intent on using whatever means possible to destroy their happiness. Not only is the legitimacy of their marriage called into question, a young man steps forward claiming to be a by-blow of Richard's dark, wild past. Closer to defeat than he has ever been, Richard musters all his friends and allies to defend against this attack on his own ground. However, no amount of incandescent lovemaking and tender care seems to keep Rose out of harm's way. Then a mutilated body turns up on their doorstep--and all fingers point at Richard. Rose has no choice but to emerge from his near-smothering concern to do what she must to save the love of her life. Even if she must appear to work against him. As she lays her heart on the line, Richard fights to keep the violence that marks his past from claiming her life. For if he loses Rose, with her will go his humanity. Warning: Rose gets her mad on, and Richard gets turned on. Contains married love, married sex and married fooling about. And pink coats with lace ruffles. And swords. And wicked goings-on.

Richard and Rose make a great couple, no question about that, I really like them and follow them faithfully, but I think a big problem with this series is that the stories are told from Rose's point of view. And in order for the reader to get that Richard is a great hero, she goes on and on and on how much Richard adores her, how they love each other, how they are perfect for each other. I love those declarations, but I prefer seeing them in actions more than in words each time. And there are enough actions to demonstrate that Richard is crazy about Rose and cares deeply for her. The continuing repetition in her thoughts of those feeling are just "de trop" for me. Would the series be told from both, Richard's and Rose's view, there would be a nice mix of those inner feelings. As many as there are of them at the moment, it's simply too much for me.
My second problem with this series is that in each and every installment there's always a threat to Rose's and/or Richard's life. The whole mystery part usually is about them being in danger, having one or several nemesis to fight against. That gets old very fast.
I prefer mysteries where the main protagonists have to solve some external murders, crimes, etc... That sometimes there might be a threat to them personally is only logical, but I don't want it to be the main focus all the time. I am in a good mood, so I go with a C- and not a D .
