Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-18 00:00:00 Mahoma Moheno Maciel "Cautious Lover" is the story of Elly and Jess. Probably, one of the most boring SJ novel I've read in the recent days. Another super overpowering H who wants to dictate his relationship with the h, is crazy possessive and not afraid of using coercion to get her to marry him. The hindrance- her reluctance, her greedy relatives and his *dead* psycho ex and her brother. Loads and loads and loads of drama later, the torture ended. I did not enjoy this book and dint find both the h/H likable. She was needy, he was controlling. Meh. Safe 1.5/5

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-29 00:00:00 Eric Grek This early work by James (who is also Jayne Ann Krentz, Amanda Quick, and Jayne Castle) is definitely a product of its times. The guy we adored back in 1986 seems ridiculously out of touch and patronizing in today's view. The character of the heroines written by the author has also changed over time. This one needs assertiveness lessons we never had but gave to our daughters. I was not too fond of the plot. The suspense elements do not mesh well with the developing relationship. A weakness of the story that has nothing to do with when it was written is that the heroine's parents are away, the hero's family is never mentioned, and the only bits of their backstory that we are given are those that affect the plot. They seem to be floating in the world. Where are his siblings, family, pals? He is singularly unconnected in this world. She has one friend who is mentioned in the story, I suspect only so the plot can remove our heroine from her responsibility as a store owner and introduce the villain to a scene. I think it's fun to read some of these early works in order, so as to watch the development of the author's skill. Other than that, this tale has little worth. Being a fanatic fan of the author, I do reread her books in order sometimes, which is why this book is a keeper for me.
