Eye Of The Tiger (Silhouette Desire, #271) (1986) - Plot & Excerpts

Mediocre RomanceTHE STORY: Eleanor Whitman has loved Keegan Taber for a long time. Four years ago, he finally noticed her and took her out on a date. The two ended up having sex but the next morning Eleanor found out that he had only been using her because he got engaged to someone else. Eleanor was devastated and ran. She is back now and determined to show Keegan that he can't hurt her any more.OPINION: This one didn't work for me. The premise of the story was interesting although I don't know that Keegan's behavior four years prior is explained well enough to make me like him. He seemed liked a jerk then. More work was needed on the relationship between these two where there is such a bad event in their past. Instead, almost half the book is spent with Eleanor dating another man. For the first half, I wasn't really sure who the hero was supposed to be. When Eleanor and Keegan did begin to have a relationship it seemed more physical than emotional or intellectual. Then at the end there is a heart to heart where everything is explained and made good. That just didn't work for me because I never felt that these two were in sync. WORTH MENTIONING: Not a good sign when I was more interested in the "other" man than the hero.FINAL DECISION: This book had an interesting premise and it was interesting having the woman determined to not get involved while the man is almost begging to have her back. Unfortunately, their relationship never comes together.CONNECTED BOOKS: EYE OF THE TIGER is a standalone.STAR RATING: I give this book 2 stars.

This book was kind of different from Diana Palmer's usual formula. Instead of the hard male, in this case we have the heart-hardened female who was scorned years ago. I found Ellie to be very likable and strong, so different from any other Palmer heroine. Keegan was lovesick from the get-go and did everything he could to win her affection. There was, of course, the usual lack of communication between the two as is Palmer's specialty, but this book wasn't as harsh as the majority of her other ones. There wasn't a time that I wanted to hit the hero in the mouth, and there was no moment when I wanted the heroine to finally grow a backbone. Really enjoyed this one!

Romance ImpossívelDiana PalmerH.C.P. Sucessos 162011Adoro está estória, mas ainda prefiro o título original, que é algo, numa tradução literal ″Olhos de Tigre″. Faz mas sentido que o título da Harlequin. Sempre imagino Keegan seguindo com olhos de tigre, cada movimento de Eleanor, como se observasse à presa.O texto é adorável e os personagens são uma delícia de ler. Antes de qualquer coisa, quero deixar claro que não tenho nada contra os ruivos, há aqueles que são mega interessantes, mas as sardas são extremamente broxantes. Eleanor fala que Keegan é gostoso e coisa e tal, fico imaginando coisas, mas ai ela vêem com as sardas...É frustrante, pois ela insiste em mencionar as benditas sardas, fico desolada...Apesar das sardas...RECOMENDADÍSSIMO!!!ADORO!!!
