Book review: Formulaic and predictable? Yes, but romance novels have their place Before Stephanie Plum, Janet Evanovich wrote romance novels. This is the latest one to be reprinted and it’s perfect for a lazy afternoon on the beach or in your own back yard.
‘The Black Sheet and the Princess’ By Donna Kauffman As a teenager, Donovan MacLeod spent his summers at Winnimoca, a very exclusive summer camp for rich kids. Donovan never actually stayed there as he was from the wrong side of the tracks and was the kid of the town drunk, but he met two of his best friends and eyed the owner’s daughter, Kate Sutherland, nonetheless. Fast forward 18 years. Donovan and his friends run the Unholy Trinity, a business in which they help those in need and set right the law, even if their methods aren’t always lawful. While reading the paper one day, he finds that Kate has returned to the camp and intends to refurbish it for challenged children. Kate has run into some trouble, though, and it seems only natural for Donovan to get to the bottom of the issues. Kate and Donovan never acted on their feelings as teenagers. It doesn’t take long for the two of them to find they still feel the same about each other and they grow closer to each other while resolving Kate’s problems. A sexy, predictable romance with enough mystery to keep the story moving. Susan Wray is the director of the Joplin Public Library.
