I've been doing a lot of reading lately. Just finished THE PROPOSAL by Mary Balogh. In my stack of recent reads, I'd put it near the top even though I thought the plot a bit weak and the outcome too predictable. You knew they were so crazy about each other from the beginning no external conflict would keep them apart. The hero and heroine are both past thirty and the heroine has been a celibate widow for years.
The main problem I had with this book was with the prologue which I question whether Ms. Balogh wrote it was so awful. By the time I finished it, I almost didn't go on. But I did. And by the end of the first page of Chapter one, I found the promise of the story and the characters enticing.
Has anyone ever found a prologue necessary? I usually skip over it and then read it after I finish the book. I cannot think of one time I thought they added anything to the story.
Good reading to you,
Susan
