Book Reviews of Someday Soon (Deliverance Company #1)

Book Review: Not one I could ever recommend!
Summary: 1 Stars

I thought I had to try something by Debbie Macomber at some point, and this one - while old - seemed a little less sickly-sweet than some of her more recent books.

I tried my best to read it fast and get it over and done with, but instead abandoned it, read a few others, and then forced myself to return.

God did the hero and heroine ever rush through their bumbling relationship! One minute they want to avoid each other, the next they are dancing together. One moment he's planning on walking away from her forever (after a relationship consisting of one dance and a shared elevator ride), the next they're having dinner together and he's inviting her on a trip away. Relationships can work when done fast. But here it was so unbelievable I couldn't concentrate on the story.

There is a lot of internalising and enough purple prose to embarrass me. And I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm in chapter one of a contemporary romance and read about a man not having `heirs', I worry a bit about the mindset of the author.

Macomber tends to write in an incredibly old-fashioned way. I've never before heard a military hero use an expression like `didn't give a tinker's damn'!!
Cain was so far from the ex-Special Forces, current day mercenary he was supposed to be it wasn't funny. We were told he was, but we weren't shown he was. It was probably a good thing because if he had been the big tough sexy guy he was supposed to be, Linette the knitting shop ninny would have been a terrible match for him.

So, there you have it. I'm no longer a Macomber virgin, but it was just a one night stand.

Summary of Someday Soon (Deliverance Company #1)

Opposite Attract

Cain had chosen his lifestyle. He thrived on the challenge. No drug, he told himself, could produce the physical or emotional high of a successfully completed mission. No drug and no woman.

Then why was he standing on a cold San Francisco pier like a lovelorn teenager, hoping for a glimpse of Linette Collins?

And then he saw her. For a moment it felt as if someone had hit him against the back of his head. He went stock-still.

She stood in line at a fish and chips place. The wind whipped her hair about her face and she lifted a finger to wrap a thick strand of dark hair behind her ear.

The smart thing to do was to turn around, and walk away as fast as his feet would carry him. He'd gotten what he wanted. One last look at her. His curiosity should be satisfied.

But even as his mind formulated the thought, Cain knew that just seeing Linette again wasn't enough.
