A shockingly graphic erotic book that desperately needed more pages of romance
By Misuzmama
Valdez is finally back with the sequel to her sexually explicit historical romance book Passion. And as anyone whose read the prequel knows this author can really push the envelope when it comes to love scenes in mainstream romance, some may call it erotic romance, some erotica and some even porn. Doesn't matter which label you use because if that is all there were to the story then it would have been easily forgotten. But Valdez is a good writer, she knows her characters, knows how to bring out emotions and best of all knows how to make a connection with the reader. I admit that I was shocked by the content of Passion but it opened up my mind to other possibilities in the historical romance genre and I was extremely excited when this sequel came out. Patience is about Matthew struggling with his recently revealed illegitimacy and his new found love, Patience, who equally struggles to define the person she really is. Its dark, intense and contains a potentially wicked revenge plot. But unfortunately I don't think Patience is nearly as good as its predecessor. In a nut shell I felt that their emotional love story was sacrificed for the sex shock factor.
My major problem with Patience is the love scenes -you can't get away from them. Well, you know that there won't be vanilla sex here. But BDSM? OK, I can open my mind up to some domination and submission. And let me tell you -You think Passion was smoking? Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet! It was shocking, titilating, and frankly educational (do NOT read this book in public! *blushing furiously*)! Seriously this a new flavor to anyone not familiar with submissive sex. BUT sadly there was waaay tooo much of it!!! Yes I'm complaining about too many love scenes in a romance?!! It seemed like they were having sex or thinking about ALL THE TIME! Really I didn't want to read another line about a red, purple veined thing or waterfalls between someones legs. It got to a point when I didn't know if I was reading a romance novel or a how to book on BDSM. To be honest I don't get the whole submission thing BUT to be fair, I'm going to assume that all that stuff, including the cringe-worthy crying and spanking parts (OMG!! stop that already!), have some roots in affection. I just wish that some of the romance was more obvious to the average reader. Its a case of too much information about one thing (sex life) and not enough of the other (romantic relationship).
This is not to say that whatever pages that were left over for romance weren't good, they were excellent. But they were just not long enough! Either cut out a bunch of the racy love scenes or add another 50 pages. Because by the end of the book I couldn't answer a critical question: Are Matthew and Patience really in love? Or did they just find their perfect bed partner? Yes there was a beautiful ending but I needed more (remember the scene in in Passion when Mark tells Passion he will write her letters?.... I'm getting teary already *sniff*) I wanted that same feeling in Patience too. I don't mind sex early in a book provided that eventually the author spends time revealing the characters true feelings not just their body parts. There were points in the book that gave me hope but sadly not enough. Wish there more, that would have made a huge difference and maybe gone from 3 to 5 star.
What I did absolutely love was Aunt Matty, she is hilarious! Her straight talking provided the comic relief from all that intense love scenes and the fizzled out revenge plot. Thank goodness for quircky characters!
I also have to mention one other thing that had me going WTH? Cucumbers. I won't be eating them for awhile. Can someone explain to me why a *vicars* daughter, who quotes the bible in the book, has experience practicing on cucumbers? and she's not making salad people!!! Isn't she supposed to be this sweet angelic woman with high morals? Oh yeah give her a few big O's and eventually she's using the f-word too. Come on! This is a historical romance. Maybe if she was a courtesan I would buy it but a piously raised girl? Victorian era? Not buying it.
Anyway as far as recommendations go I recommend this to anyone that reads or has read and enjoyed any type of erotica or erotic romance but definitely not if your the type of reader that's uncomfortable with explicit love scenes with little romance. If on the other hand your like me and curious (you know its like those accidents, you just can't look away) then you should consider this book cause you know I'm keeping mine purely for scientific purposes....yep scientific purposes..that's what I'm telling myself ;).

My Patience ran out at Chapter 2!!
By Deelze
This book was nothing like its predecessor Passion. Now do not get me wrong I knew they were going to be different but expected the same love and intensity that Passion possessed...sadly Patience fall flat.
I did not buy or believe the "love" they felt for each other it seems as though Lisa tacked that in every other minute to make you believe it because you read it as oppose to us feeling it. IMO I believed that Matthew used Patience to get through all that he was dealing with and not because he loved her. The whole dominance thing was annoying and did not make any sense, all the talk about him "knowing" Patience and what she wanted was lame...and as far as everyone saying the sex was constant...it was page after page of oral stimulation for both him and her, and not in an endearing or loving way. They did not have actual intercourse or f*** in their case until later down in the book, around page 300 then all the love and happiness followed...sort of! I found him to be abrupt and hard, she was timid and stupid acting...whatever he told her she accepted, and went along with, like she had no mind of her own!! It drove me batty reading this after waiting so long for it to be published.
I did not believe the "love" they professed in the least and every time he took the dominant role and made her do something that was for her own good...it was not tasteful, it seemed deeming! There is a part in the book that disturbed me...it was when they were in the cabin stranded by the storm, Matthew stimulated Patience to a fever pitch and denied her a release as usual...he liked to prolong her desire; he had a leash on her and when he did allow her to reach her pinnacle of pleasure it was by letting her hump his foot (which was still in his leather boots) like a dog in heat!!! That irked me to no end!! I have read a few books with BDSM in them and it was tastefully done and never did the heroine come off as being demeaned in the act at all, but this was just too much and again I never got the feeling of the love he professed he felt for her.
It's hard not comment and compare the two books, but Patience lacked the love and intensity that Passion had. The sex scenes between Mark and Passion were in your face out there, but behind them you felt the emotions that drove them...in a since the Passion! With Matthew and Patience I felt as though because we knew they were the hero and heroine and was destined to be together, that they just were...nothing more!
I am sorry to say but this book was a letdown, I am sure that Lisa worked long and hard on it but it crashed and burned before lift off!

Lovin' Me Some Patience!
By VampFanGirl
PATIENCE is the story of two strong-willed, independent creatures that have each been betrayed by those whom they trustingly gave their hearts only to be found lacking. Now, having brutally learned their lesson, neither is interested in repeating their previous pain but thankfully there's an undeniable pull that draws these two fated beings together. And once in each others arms, their well fortified walls begin crumble as if so much dust.
An incomparable beauty, Patience Emmalina Dare is coveted by all the male members of the ton. As they preen, peck and squawk their candidacy as potential suitors, they know not that their efforts fall upon deaf ears for Patience has no desire to belong to any man. Instead, her heart - her everything - belongs to her cello and the music she persuades from its strings for you see, her instrument could never forsake her, can never ever leave her thus providing the perfect guard against any who contrive to poach upon her love. However, despite Patience's instrumental guard, she also recognizes a deep-seeded yearning for one man that has the very real potential to obliterate all that she is but the secrets he dangles before her are utter temptation and they have her leaping for a glimpse of the freedom he offers.
Matthew Morgan Hawkmore, formally the second son of an earl but now a known bastard and recent social pariah of the ton, is grasping with white knuckles to the remaining pieces of his former life that he can still call his own. But there are those that would glory at seeing his financial demise and none is more hungry for that than Archibald Benchley - the Earl of Benchley and Matthew's would be father-in-law if news of his bastard birth had never made light. Accused of withholding his bastardy from "good society", Matthew has been snubbed by those he had once called friends and now to have his name and his honor slandered atop of the fierce financial crush that Benchley has heaped upon him, the desire for revenge has him swirling in an all encompassing darkness of anger and hatred. There is only one light capable of piercing through the black that is now Matthew's tarnished soul and that is Patience. Her goodness and her light calls to him, beckoning with sensual promise as well as soothing acceptance.
It's really no surprise that from an early age, Matthew recognized and cultivated a burning need and desire to sexually dominate. With evidence of his already controlling nature, his role as a sexual dominant is no coincidence for he's a man that inherently seeks control - needs control - and in his current uncontrollable and crumbling world this unequivocal need to dominate gravitates him on a very primal level towards Patience. As if viewing a mirror image of himself, Matthew recognizes a deep-seeded and complicated pain within her and his reaction to it is fierce. Ultimately, Matthew desperately craves Patience's absolute surrender; to strip her of all her fortified walls, crumble her resistance, and tear asunder the pain that has burdened her so greatly. Perhaps by unleashing and healing Patience, Matthew can heal his own dark pain and the only way he knows how to do this is by requiring her complete and utter submission.
Patience, nervous and unsure of the submission Matthew is demanding, follows him with a tentative trust. No man has ever demanded anything of her and while she should be affronted by his commands, instead Matthew brings to light a curious feeling that she's never before felt; one that awakens a previously dormant and unknown faucet of her nature that ultimately causes her to grasp hold of it with desperate hands and an aching heart. Soon, Patience finds solace in her submissive bonds. She no longer has to control her thoughts or maintain her strict independence for in truth they're not her nature. She was meant to be a nurturer, a calm example but instead she became closed off, seemingly un-needing of anyone but her cello. For years Patience has unknowingly forced herself into something she's not and with Matthew's help she's released from these constricting bonds of her own making and instead basks in the silken bonds of his dominance.
However, while Patience unveils hidden aspects of her personality, hauntingly painful moments in her past, as well as gifted Matthew with her complete trust, he's hidden a plan from her that could potentially tear apart their burgeoning relationship. His revenge scheme for his enemy, Archibald Bentley, has escalated to such a high degree that Matthew recognizes no moral bounds. It's kill or be killed in his mind and he has every intention of beating Benchley to the punch despite the fact that his conscience is saying he's wrong. There's strong evidence of this because Matthew does his absolute best to make sure that Patience is kept completely in the dark from his nefarious plotting. She is everything that is good and beautiful in his world and to make his plans known to her would only spell his doom. Instead, Matthew is so twisted with anger and hatred that he becomes nearly blinded by the revenge he seeks rather than the cling to the love he's already been given by the woman that longs to lighten his world.
Truly, what I think surprised me the most about PATIENCE, and it's not the unbelievable depths that Valdez explored with the D/s relationship between Matthew and Patience, but the fact that it didn't resemble PASSION in any way. Instead, the novel is compellingly unique and held its own superbly against its famous predecessor. That accomplishment in and of itself is rare and quite splendid. Bravo Ms. Valdez!
If you love intense romance with graphic sex, x-rated language, an uber alpha hero who also happens to be a sexual dominant, and a complex heroine who lives and breathes to submit to her hero, than PATIENCE is the historical romance for you.
