From Literary Times An agitated David Trent makes a phone call to his brother Caleb, asking him to take care of 'Lizzie' if anything should happen to him. The next thing Caleb knows, his brother is dead from an apparent suicide. Caleb, an ex Delta Force captain, keeps his promise to David and infiltrates the commune where Lizzie is living. Commando style, he takes her prisoner to his country home in upstate New York where he plans to deprogram her. She recognizes him from David's pictures and she is surprised that Caleb has most of her things there. She asks for her medicine, and he thinks she is using that as a ploy, until she gets a debilitating migraine and he learns what he has to do to take care of her. Lizzie has the run of the estate because Caleb has 'Lizzie' proofed it, but he underestimates her for she proves to be intelligent and determined when she sends an SOS. During her imprisonment, Lizzie and Caleb get to know each other, but he can't trust her 100% even though his instincts tell him to. Based on what David had told him, Caleb thinks David's death is her fault even though she tries to explain that they were only friends, and she is a virgin. She asks him to call her Elizabeth, but he refuses as one more means to control her. Caleb feels guilt over his growing feelings for her because she was a part of his brother's life and death; and she feels things for him she has never felt before. When the barriers begin to break down, Caleb almost makes love to Elizabeth, but he is reminded of her treachery when he sees the tattoo that all commune members are required to have. Elizabeth proves herself to Caleb after he suffers a reaction to a spider bite and later she tells him all about her relationship with David. They infiltrate the commune, learn the truth about David's death, and narrowly miss getting killed. And now Elizabeth is free to go, and she does. After three months, Caleb can't stand it anymore. He needs and wants Elizabeth and will kidnap her again if he must, but Elizabeth has had time to think about her hard hearted hero, and she knows what she wants.A Hard-Hearted Hero is Pamela Burford at her best! Definitely two thumbs up! A strong woman and a vulnerable hero make A Hard-Hearted Hero undeniably romantic! A great romance and a terrific thriller! Pamela Burford is superb at building the intensity of both!Gloria Miller -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved

这本小说简直是让我心跳加速,每一个转折都出乎我的意料。作者的叙事功力非凡,她对人物内心世界的刻画入木三分,让人仿佛能亲身感受到主角们在情感漩涡中的挣扎与纠结。故事的节奏把握得恰到好处,时而轻柔缠绵,时而紧张刺激,将爱情的复杂性展现得淋漓尽致。我特别喜欢那种欲罢不能的感觉,每次放下书都忍不住想立刻翻开下一页。里面的对话更是精妙绝伦,那些充满张力的交流,读起来简直是一种享受,让人回味无穷。特别是主角之间的那种化学反应,真是让人脸红心跳,完全沉浸在他们的世界里无法自拔。
评分从文学手法上来看,这本书的语言运用达到了相当高的水准。它既有抒情的优美,又不失犀利的洞察力。作者的遣词造句看似信手拈来,实则处处体现着对语言的精准掌控,使得复杂的内心活动得以清晰而富有美感地表达出来。我尤其欣赏作者在处理关键情节时的措辞选择,那些精准的形容词和有力的动词,极大地增强了故事的说服力和感染力。它不仅仅是一本用来消遣的作品,更是一次对语言艺术的欣赏过程,让人在享受故事的同时,也提升了自己的审美趣味。
评分我对这部作品的整体结构感到非常惊艳。它不仅仅是一个简单的爱情故事,更像是一部精心编织的心理剧。作者巧妙地运用了多重叙事线索,将不同角色的视角和动机层层剥开,使得整个故事的立体感十足。每一次阅读,我都能发现一些之前忽略的细节,这让我对作者的布局能力深感佩服。故事中的冲突设置得非常巧妙,既有外部的阻碍,更有内在的自我怀疑和成长,这种深层次的探讨,让这部作品远超一般的言情小说,更具文学价值。读完之后,心中久久不能平静,思考着人性的复杂和情感的脆弱与坚韧。
评分这部小说的情感张力处理得极其老道,高潮迭起,却又水到渠成。作者深谙如何拿捏“推拉”的艺术,让读者在期待与失落之间反复拉扯,直到最后的释放,那种满足感是无以言喻的。我欣赏作者塑造的那些有血有肉的角色,他们有缺点,会犯错,但正是这些不完美,让他们显得如此真实可爱。他们为了维护心中所爱所信,所展现出的勇气和牺牲精神,深深地打动了我。读完后,我甚至有些羡慕他们能够经历如此刻骨铭心的爱恋。
评分不得不说,这本书的氛围营造简直是一绝。从一开始的场景描写到高潮部分的激烈冲突,作者的文字充满了画面感和感染力。我感觉自己完全被带入了那个特定的时空背景中,呼吸着角色们呼吸的空气,感受着他们共同经历的每一次心动与心痛。尤其是那些浪漫的场景,描绘得既热情又细腻,没有丝毫的矫揉造作,反而充满了真实感和强烈的代入感。这种沉浸式的阅读体验,是我近年来读过的书中少有的,让人完全放下了外界的喧嚣,只专注于书中的情感流动。
