Yeah, I read some of the reviews on Good Reads that savaged the Proposition. A couple of readers really could not deal with the strong female character, and a male hero who was not...what they were used to. (They were really turned off by his background.)
Smartbitches a while back, in one of their podcasts, discussed Good Reads Reviews and how they aren't really indicative of the readership at large, and that the reviewers there are geared towards certain novels.
Okay, I think I may read the Proposition first. Let me know what you think of "Beast" - it got weird reviews on both sites. I did find one decent review of it - that made it sound rather appealing. The heroine is smart. (I require smart heroines, stupid heroines grate on my nerves.)
