Book: Opposites Attract by Nora Roberts
Rating: 1 star
Review:
After reading this, the two main characters Ty Starbuck and Asher Wolfe remind me of the main characters from the other Nora Roberts book I read. It felt like déjà vu with the female character being cold, aloof, independent yet quick to be subservient while the male character was emotionally aggressive, domineering, pushy and possessive.
Character similarities aside, this story was not as good as the other. Opposites Attract dragged on for nearly the entire book. The author did a pretty good job detailing the tennis matches but lost steam when the story focused on the main characters.
This book was very tedious especially with all the inner monologues of the characters. Asher acted like this confident woman but constantly kept being pushed around by both her former then new boyfriend Ty and her vindictive ex-husband Eric. Her ex-husband was holding her secret over her, a secret that she had been keeping from Ty that could change their renewed romance.
This was really slow and disappointing, neither the characters nor the story was very likeable. I didn't understand why Asher hid her secret or why she had left Ty years ago if she was so in love all because of what someone else said to her. And I got tired of Ty's overly possessive angry routine. Asher's passive aggressive routine wasn't much better. Ty's annoying meddling sister Jess, felt like a plot device, which unfortunately did nothing to enhance this poorly written and struggling story.
Overall, this story felt unfinished and the ending seemed last minute.
