Disapointed

Very disappointed with story. The woman character Pris is annoying. She is a know it all who doesn't listen.

Trace of a story some where

I spent 4 hours trying to find a story with no luck. What I found was a guy who is no more than a sexual deviate An this guy is supposed to be the hero.

Heroine was awful!

What disappointed you about Trace of Fever?

I loved the hero but the heroine was so bad! I think the author wanted her to be tough but she just turned out hateful and bi-polar. One minute she's mad and hateful and then the next she's jumping the guy! I rolled my eyes way too many times.

Terrible

Don't waste your time, money or credits. Nothing in this book worked for me, well that's not true. Had it not been for Jim Frangione I doubt I could have made it through this train wreck.

Did I Listen To The Same Book!!

I must have missed something in the book because I thought the book was so boring.

It's never good when you get to the end of a book and think "Thank God that's over!" It took me a long time to slog through it. I have enjoyed Ms. Foster's contemporaries but I personally do not at all like her attempts at romantic suspense.

This was a revenge story. The heroine was out for revenge on the bad guy for something that did not really need revenge. She was going to kill the man who had kidnapped, raped and shared her mother. I realize that's a bad thing but...Her mother had kept her off the grid her whole life to keep her away from the bad man. (A man who didn't remember or care anything about the woman or what happened to her.) So the first thing you do after that upbringing is go straight to the bad guy to kill him? "I had a sucky upbringing so I'm going to go kill some man who may or may not be my father?" Is it that easy for a normal person to decide to go and murder someone? Didn't buy it at all. Maybe if the mother had pounded into the daughter that "it is your destiny to revenge me!" But the mother had been trying to protect her for the whole of her life. I wonder why the mother even admitted who the bad guy was in that case. She had no training and only a lame ass plan involving some strange cartoon weapons.

The hero was some sort of mercenary who was undercover to bring down the bad guy's white slavery operation. His sister had been kidnapped in an earlier book so at least he had a valid reason to be working against this. And he had training. But... he was the most trusted henchman of the bad guy after being there 3 weeks? Yeah...nope.

The whole thing took place in about 3 days and the heroine managed to be too stupid to live throughout most of it. And the hero just kept admiring her gumption every time she did exactly the opposite of what he asked her to do to keep her safe.

The characterisation was weak. The only part I really enjoyed was when one of the other good guy operatives had to rescue the heroine while she was naked in the shower

The only good part of the book was the narrator Jim Frangione he was great with the delivery of the story.

A Rare Disapointment

The story went on and on without much character, excitement, story plot or relief of any kind. I told myself to be patient and wait for it. I am familiar with this author and some of her other books and have truely enjoyed some of her writing. The Hero was not handsome and witty, but ripped and moodily quiet. Boring. The Heroine had to be raised on vanilla because that is what her character emoted. I hung in there and wished I hadn't Avoid this one unless you want a sleeping aide..
