** Dark Ruby.
I just couldn't get over the premise of this book. The heroine's married to an evil man who's killed his last two wives because they didn't give him sons.
The hero's a thief who's hiding in her room while the midwife gives her a gyn exam to see if she's pregnant yet. She's not. She demands the thief get her pregnant to save her life, otherwise she'll turn him in & he'll lose his hands if not his life... and it turns out she's a virgin.
*bashing my head repeatedly on the desk* How stupid is this heroine? Talk about TSTL--this takes the cake.
The hero's not all that great, either. Once he returns to claim his son, he despises her for making compromises to save his son's life. I guess these two morons deserve each other, not that I could see any reason for them to fall in lurrve other than the hot nookie 12 years earlier which she forced on him.
**½ Dark Sapphire.
The heroine helps the hero escape from her father who's just killed the hero's father--they're both young. She asks him to take her with him. He doesn't, but he does take a sapphire ring that's said to be cursed.
Years later, they meet again when she stows away on his ship, running away because she killed her husband on their wedding night.
There's a lot going on--an evil stepmother, hidden parentage, feuding families, but it's a lot of busy-ness without much point.
And the heroine is the type for which idiotic defiance is confused with strength. I really started hating her when she was "asserting her independence" by insisting she could wander around freely on a ship full of men of questionable backgrounds who hadn't seen a woman in months. It's just tedious.
