Reviews for Loving Evangeline

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loving Evangeline is not an ordinary woman! She has a beautiful heart and soul only to be in love with a stone-cold, controlling man. Their meeting was planned by Robert and he draws her into his investigations without caring for how far he went to get his problem solved. Another point that I do not understand why he did not come out to ask her or tell her what was going on with his work. The reason he was in Lake Guntersville Resort State Park, Alabama.
He did cause her pain and loss that did bring out her character and showed how resourceful she is. After all, if she has the business, he should have known that she can take care of things, without running her problems to outsiders. For a woman, she is very strong, beautiful, and intuitive about business and knows how to run things.
Robert Cannon (wealthy CEO and President of Cannon Group) discovers that there is a conspiracy threatening his company. He acquires info about some people who could be involved in this, including innocent Evie (Evangeline) Shaw, the owner-operator of a marina. (The bad guy, Landon Mercer, is using one of her boats at the marina and selling info to the enemy.) Robert suspects that Evie is part of this conspiracy and he visits the marina to spy on her.
I didn't enjoy this book at all. The hero ruined it for me. Conceited, selfish, stupidly believing Evie is committing treason with all signs pointing to her innocence. I never saw any love from this hero, only lust. The story was slow and boring with too many sex scenes. I liked Evie, though; she was a sweet heroine. She deserved a better hero and a much better man than she had to settle with Robert. Sometimes our heart goes where it goes without us knowing it. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Domineering, arrogant, manipulative male character. Admirable heroine until she proves herself to be a doormat toward the end. Frustrating.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Robert Cannon's taking the DIY route to uncovering the traitor selling his company's secrets to international competitors. Marina owner Evie Shaw doesn't know she's a suspect, but she knows there's more to Robert Cannon than meets the eye. Remote and uninvolved romantically since her husband's death twelve years before, she falls hard for the strong, darkly handsome man in complete control of himself and everything around him. But when the dust settles, is love enough to save them both?Fluffy, predictable and escapist.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the intensity in this novel. The main character, Evangeline, was memorable and easy to love. The reader feels like he/she knows Evangeline at the end of the novel. That said, I don't like how Linda Howard's characters, especially the girls, have to constantly be submisssive to their male counterparts. The main character, as with all of Howard's novels, submitted to her soon-to-be husband who had no trouble betraying her towards the end of the novel. Although this is a good ending, I would hope to see more fire in a normally energetic, willing-to-fight character like Evangeline. This book is good for young adults/adults (females).
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this bundled with Raintree: Inferno and boy was it an 80's/early 90's Romance. He is so alpha it isn't funny but she's willing to give up EVERYTHING she holds close because that's what he wants. Feh.I disliked the ending and the chest beating machismo of the male main character. I liked her and her strength up to the end but ended up wanting to ask her what she was going to do when she looked back on her life and saw what she sacraficed for him.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of my favorites. Not because of the male character but because of the plot and Evie Shaw.
