REVIEW: A Woman of Passion by Anne Mather

A Woman of Passion by Anne Mather was very interesting.

Helen is working as a nanny. Her boss is a real witch who treats her like a servant and the husband expects Helen to tend to more than the kids…if you get my meaning. I was really wishing for Helen to tell them to take the job and shove it, but that never happened.

Matt….is complicated. He’s a very successful writer and when he first meets Helen, they don’t exactly hit it off with each other. Turns out Matt’s sister-in-law, Fleur, who tries to seduce Matt every chance she gets, is also Helen’s mother.

“I was a woman of passion. I needed a man’s attentions to make me whole.”

I wanted to slap Fleur the whole story and the fact that Matt never sent Fleur away didn’t sit well with me. In fact, I didn’t like Matt at all.

The story frustrated me. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and I didn’t like how weak the heroine was and I would definitely not call Matt a hero, but that’s just my opinion.
