I've read every book in this series, and while I usually enjoy the story, I find Stone Barrington's incessant bedding of every woman he encounters tiring. In this outing, we are treated to a threesome - Stone, Gala, and I won't give away the third person. Really? Did the story need this? My mother stopped reading it and had me take it off her Kindle, she was so disgusted. The man has no depth. Money, yes, but would we enjoy him without it? Probably not. He doesn't have much of a personality. All he has is sex and money. Perhaps it's time to retire Mr. Barrington. Surely by now he must be suffering from a really bad case of syphilis. The only good thing in Dishonorable Intentions is that we see the last of Gala. Now we need to see the last of Stone, or at least give him some redeemable quality.
While I have read every single Stone Barrington book that Stuart Woods has written and I will likely continue to read them they are getting pretty lame. The last one was really good as there was more action and less bed hopping. This one is back to Stone spending most of his time in bed with his new lady. The threesome with Stone, Gala and Felicity added absolutely nothing at all to the story line and should have been eliminated completely. Then there were the crazy Russian mobsters that keep showing up every few books.It would be nice if these books could get back to where they used to be with Stone and Dino investigating murders and such instead of who Stone is sleeping with and that happens every other pages
I've been a longtime Stuart Woods fan... I truly miss the days when he wasn't so concentrated on Stone Barrington stories. That having been said... this has followed along the same lines as the previous 10-15(?) Barrington books. One gets the feeling that the author is getting worn out on that particular character. I understand there's an upcoming book centered around Teddy Fay in August... now THAT one, I'm definitely looking forward to.
Although it is an easy read, "Dishonorable Intentions" was a big disappointment. It had a minimal plot which I had figured out when less than half way through. As a lawyer Stone should be reasonably intelligent but I have to wonder what he uses for brains. It took me only a very few minutes to figure out Gala's intentions and when we get to the threesome, how indiscreet. Not only could individual careers been siderailed, but there could have been government repercussions. But obviously the participants never thought of that? Stone seems to be doing less and less thinking with his brain.
This was a disappointment. I'm a big Stone Barrington fan, and really looked forward to this book. I've read every one from the beginning of the series. But this particular book had almost no content. It was Stone and a ditzy woman friend, who had an angry ex-husband. That's all the story was about, dealing with her and dealing with the ex.. Stone needs to raise his game. Stone needs a classier woman, and he needs a few cases and a few other life story lines.
I have read all of Stuart Wood's Stone Barrington books, and most of the others. Like a couple of reviewers I am getting tired of the same ole same ole. Stone is probably in his 60's now, and no man can have that much sex!!!! I think I will probably won't read the other books.sorry, Stuart!
I love Stuart Woods, but this book had very little character development. I feel as though he has found a pattern and is now just putting out books without the character and plot development that he had a few books back.
This is the first Stone Barrington book I really didn't care for and I believe I have read them all. Too much talk about sex and violence. Stone always has a pretty woman but for the first time the book didn't develop her personality and she wasn't 100% enthralled with Stone unlike his other women. So we end up with a weak woman with no personality. Totally different than what we normally get and she ends up unlikeable. Hopefully the next book is back to being likeable and entertaining, both things this book is not.
