Dragon's Lair
“Now that it was too late, she fully realised the recklessness of the impulse which had prompted her action, but there could be no going back, she told herself ruefully, her glance going involuntarily to the floor beside her chair where the remains of her long hair was being swept up by a junior assistant.
But she could not complain that the new short style was unbecoming. The cutting had been skilful, and the feathery tendrils which had been coaxed across her forehead and cheeks seemed to accen...tuate the size of her eyes and the delicacy of her cheekbones.
But there was no gainsaying that she suddenly looked younger, and that was something she had not intended, she thought unhappily.
She had simply been determined to underline to Gethyn that any lingering proprietorial interest he might have in her personal appearance was totally misplaced. Now, it might seem just like a rather childish act of defiance, and, what was worse, she was already regretting the loss of her hair. She had acted on impulse, and the fact that the hairdresser could fit her in at once because of a cancellation had seemed at the time to confirm the Tightness of her action.MoreLess

The book drags a lot and the woman indulges in a lot of thinking and recriminations. Most of the book talks of what had happened than what is happening. I read skipping 2 or 3 pages at once to avoid going through the heroine’s boring thoughts but even on the 4th page I many a times found that she wasn’t done thinking. The heroine in this one is beyond irritating and the hero is just incomprehensible.Write Review:
