Sacred Sins

I don't remember the first time I read this book, but it had to have been at least 15 years ago. I don't remember not ever liking a Nora Roberts book from back in the day, but this time, this book, I'm not a big fan.

Mostly, it has to do with Ben Paris. How Tess falls in love with this man is beyond me. He is nothing but horribly rude to her for most of the book, even after sleeping with her. But at the same time her ‘he has an illness' take on the killer started to get on my nerves too.

For once, the story just made no sense to me. Or rather, the love story aspect. It wasn't about opposites attracting it was just that besides being a dedicated police officer what exactly were Ben Paris's redeeming qualities? The killings started to get a little tired and I was actually more invested in the side story of Tess's patient Joey than the main plot.

For my second time around I have to say this is a two-star read for me. I just couldn't get into the characters or the story and then the conclusion, which did take me a bit by surprise was just kind of wrapped up way too quickly. But hey, with a bazillion books under her belt not liking one isn't bumming me out any!
