I liked this more than I thought I would, and that is entirely because of Susan.I started out really disliking her combination of fragility and sanctimonious use of the word "morals." Cord wasn't a favorite either. But Susan was a fighter. She followed through on what she thought was right, and grasped life where she could. I ended up admiring her a lot. It was also apparent that others around her saw the same qualities the whole time.I have always agreed with Blair Mallory: walk out, crawlAlthough I usually really enjoy Linda Howard's bookks, this book I had a hard time getting into, the first time I read it and again when I just re-read it. Although the heroine has some backbone, I still found myself wanting to shake a little more into her & I wanted to tell her in-laws to stop being so self center/selfish in their relationships. I could see where the hero was coming from and really could cheer him on after seeing how his family (the heroine's in-laws) treated him. Read it
3.5 Stars
Heroine bugged the ever living shit out of me. Linda Howard - humour = rubbish
When I checked this book out I knew it was an early LH. I knew here earlier books differ from her later ones. Still, I didn't care. It was set in the time for when she wrote it. It was a romance novel. I will never give her books less than 3 stars because I am a LH fan through and through.
The end saved this book for me. I really wasnt liking the direction for most of the book, but I am a sucker for a good ending. Overall, I just didnt like the behavior of any of the characters. I felt they were all in the wrong except for the heroine and she just frustrated the crap out of me. The surprise twist did make me feel better about the hero though. I do think he should have groveled more to the heroine. The epilogue was sweet.
I'm starting to believe that there are 2 Linda Howard out there (or if you prefer she suffers from split personality disorder). There's one Linda who writes intriguing plots and strong leading ladies. Her books may not be all 4/5 star, but they are still a pleasure to read.Then there's this other Linda who writes awfully boring books about nothing with the worst excuse for a woman I can think of as a heroine.Tears of the Renegade was the latter kind. It revolved about nothing really, it was
