Here comes my verdict of Jane Porter’s “ Spaniard Passion ” :
I love the Hitch and I hate the Witch !!!
Warda the hero is amazing !! Alonso is to die for , he has the greatest sense of humour and a quick wit that captured our hearts from the first scene in the prologue. His logical way in convincing makes a joke of out of the heroine irrational fears and phobias. He is soooooo romantic , the ultimate gentleman in wanting to woo the heroine before proposing , meanwhile losing his opportunity.
I mean he had made countless romantic gestures throughout the story, walking the heroine down the aisle to marry someone else, attending her husband funeral when he was in desperate need of medical help, arranging for their shotgun marriage in one day, not to mention risking his life twice to get her out of troubles!! He is every girl dream of dependable loving husband and what for?
Wasn’t it romantic when the heroine married someone else while claiming that loved Lon? Wasn’t romantic when she asked him for help countless times and then say to him in the face that she doesn’t trust him? Wasn’t it romantic when she was fantasizing and dreaming crudely about sleeping with him, while he was thinking of honouring her with marriage? Wasn’t it romantic when she freaked out at signing the marriage contract that binds her to Lon and yet trust a stranger enough to take her to the other side of the continent alone?
No it wasn’t, and it shows clearly how she was contradicting herself and doesn’t know what’s right in front of her!! I tried hard to think of one romantic gesture the heroine made but there was none!!! I truly don’t think her capable of loving him or even worthy of his affection. She has no backbone, no ambition nothing to promote her character. So what if you know 4 languages, my computer knows that you cold blooded ostrich!!
I liked the story till it got to the part they were lost in the jungle then it seemed someone else is writing the story or maybe the heroine started to babble I don’t know!! I just didn’t get the author rational after that point, so what has changed? The hero is still emotionally intense and the heroine is still cold-blooded coward.
It also started to get predictable after that point with having the late husband exposed as gay. Why does always have to be that the partner the heroine chose over the hero turned up gay?? Why can’t he be a good husband but they let’s say didn’t have the same views in life?
Nice story though, I like it when she was thinking of the good old days , it’s very natural and we do it all the time. Thanks Warda for recommending it. I don’t know which one to choose next, I think I will try a historical to change scenes I will probably try Whittney.
