Query: A brief review of The Passionate One

As a diehard Connie Brockway fan I was more than a little disappointed with this latest effort. As usual her hero Ash was suitably tortured and smouldery however our heroine Rhiannon seemed rather lacklustre compared to other Brockway heroines eg Desdemona in As You Desire. There seemed little of the soul wrenching connection I associate with her love stories. In a way this novel came across as much more formulaic with less thought to the rounding out of her characters especially in Rhiannons case. Here's hoping she is saving herself for the next in the trilogy The Reckless One.
