    or, "How To Make Lord Byron boring". What started out interesting in the prologue quickly turned BORING when the heroine is introduced.



    What I find is becoming a constant problem in modern paranormal romance is the author fleshes out these complex alpha male heroes to only shackle them with the "super intelligent heroine who turns ditzy as soon as she meets the hero".



    For example-in this book-the heroine writes a 1800+ page mega book on Byron but can't get to a meeting on time and arrives at meeting with her "pink and purple houndstooth suitcase" in hand? UGH! Paranormal writers PLEASE note: readers want strong, capable heroines!



    I couldn't even finish this one-not recommended.

    1 star.
