GRR Reviews Dead of Winter by Melissa Pearl and Anna Cruise


Rosie ran from her BF. She thought she saved him from the police for a drug arrest. Instead of thanking her, he pimped her out to save his own ass. So she ran, with just the clothes on her back, all the way back to her hometown of Aspen Falls, even though her parents have already moved to Florida. // Blaine became a police officer after that one fateful day in high school when Rosie saved him from suicide. Then she left. Now that she's back, and obviously running from something, what was her problem, and how can he save her? When her evil BF found her, will she tried to solve everything herself... or confess and enlist professional help?

Argh. Rosie is possibly one of the most frustratingly too-stupid-to-live FMCs in the 1200 romances I've read. She seems to think that she can just steal all the money (from her work), pay off the criminals, and spend the rest of her life paying it back. Instead of going to the cops. GAH!!!!! Criminals don't play by rules or promises, and she's somehow, no, I have to save EVERYONE all by myself. WHAT AN IDIOT! Fortunately, she finally confessed by 80% point to set up the climax. The ending's kinda lame though. And there were WAY TOO MANY flashbacks that I deem completely unnecessary.
