Review To Steal a Heart by Jennifer Youngblood
Midway through a series, which To Steal a Heart by Jennifer Youngblood is, don’t feel inadequate
if you believe you’ve missed something. In the beginning, the feeling gnawed at
me continuously.
Calm yourself and enjoy a classic summer beach read. If you
add a glass of wine, no problem. If the sweat gleams because you’re lathered in
sunscreen, likewise no problem.
Here’s a tip. Don’t count the twists and turns. If you’re
put off by the pettiness and selfishness of high society circles, banish the
thought. And remember this secret, if a heroine is bashed by an unfaithful or
conniving lover in the beginning pages, and that “heel” then dates her former
childhood friend, be prepared for revenge and enjoy the next page.
You’d earn a gold star if you believed the outcome was
preordained because the ex-boyfriend was named Hector. Yes, the name is Greek.
Homer in the Iliad describes Hector
as “Breaker of Horses.”
Thus, why wouldn’t the modern day Hector, under the grip of
a romance writer, “break” a woman’s heart? You may find additional allegorical
references. Go to it.
