Catherine Cowles isn't a bad author, but she's incredibly predictable and NEVER deviates from her formula. It's getting to the point it's grating at this point. I feel like I should have a checklist.
- heroine is feisty but vulnerable? Check
- hero is grumpy with some cutesy nickname for the heroine that he WAY overuses? Check
- there will be some mystery in the plot and heroine will need rescuing because of danger she manages to get herself into multiple times? Check
- characters have bizarre names you will rarely encounter in real life and I swear are the results of a love affair with a baby name book? Check, but tbf these aren't too bad, usually her books are worse
- plenty of quirky side characters with potential for additional books? Check
If you want predictability and safety then by all means, go for it. There's just something about her books I'm rapidly losing interest in. I think it's the cutesy pet names the hero gives the heroine I can't stand anymore. They are NEVER something you'd hear on real life and they are very overused. Why can't she ever make it based on the character's name? Why is it ALWAYS some random word like "chaos" or "trouble" or "rebel" or "reckless"?
