Elaine M.'s Reviews > Sinful Blaze

This was pretty good, but there were a lot of things that were confusing to me.

There was one major inconsistency (when the MMC was introduced to a side character AFTER they already had a conversation and established that they knew each other), but otherwise, I thought it was decent.

What I really liked:
Although her lying (by omission) about her family catches up to the MFC, the MMC and family don't ignore all previous conversations with her and immediately assume the worst. I can't tell you how much I hate it when all the conflict in a story is manufactured out of miscommunication.

What I didn't like:
The MMC and his crew... they kind of suck at being criminals. Why does it take so long and so many meetings to accomplish nothing with the senator? I feel like they just went around and around for no reason. The MMC made a couple of threats, but was too afraid of being arrested to actually act on them.

And I would think that they would be able to do a decent background search. And speaking of... why did Daphne go through so many hoops to hide her identity? I can understand changing her name, but what's with the cloak and dagger? She even created a paper trail of the "other Daphne" moving to a random city to hide who she was. Why? Was someone threatening her? It seems extra weird that she went through such trouble to hide her identity, but still had lunch with her mother. I don't know... a lot of it doesn't add up.

And nearly every person in Daphne's life is a "bad guy." Yes, she has her sister and her friend, but other than that, she has an awful lot of people who have it out for her, for no particular reason.

I can understand her ex stalking her, and not being able to take a hint, but once the MMC disfigured him or when the MFC stabs him, it's hard to believe he will continue persisting to get with her. Hurt her? Maybe. But believe that she will "come back to him"? No.

And I can believe him cheating on her and kicking her out of their apartment, but the fact that he proposes to his mistress on the same day is a little unbelievable. Not out of respect for her, but because if he wanted to MARRY this other chick...

And her bosses... they don't fire her after she purposely STARTS A FIRE in the gallery and publicly burns the artwork of a successful client of theirs, but they INSIST she works with said client (do they even want business??) and only want to fire her when they find out she's pregnant... which is illegal. Where is the logic here?
