Wow, this romance is intense,
strikingly so!
Fool me twice absorbed me so
much that I couldn't put it down until I read the last line.
However this novel strength, in my opinion,
is not given only by the force and power of the plot; what truly hit
me is how controversially, unusually and magnificently portrayed is the
hero. He gave me the most contrasting sensations; some of his
actions, feelings and attitudes are everything but what you would
expect from a classical hero, sometimes they are peculiar to the
point that they could be considered infamous.
I'm pretty sure that someone will
affirm that he is irritating, way too stubborn and cruel, but his
character didn't bother me at all, and the reason is that when, before reading a
romance, I go through the plot and find out that the hero is supposed to
be tormented, scarred and rough, THIS is what I want and expect. I
want the kind of character that makes you feel the affliction he
feels, I want his behaviours not to be all romantic and noble, I
want to see and read, and not just imagine because the plot or the
prologue pictured him as an afflicted grumpy man.
