Title: Nothing redeeming here
Product review: It pains me to give a bad review to this book, but it pained me to read it, too, so I guess it's only fair. I am a big Diana Palmer fan, and have liked books that many other fans have not (Diamond Spur, Fit For a King, Rage of Passion) but this book was truly abyssmal. I cannot call the main male character a hero, because he doesn't come even close. He is violent, cruel and downright mean. I guess we are supposed to understand that he is sheilding his tender emotions, but I cannot believe the wet noodle "heroine" puts up with his *years* of emotional abuse. He takes and takes and gives nothing in return but rough "lessons" in intimacy that serve to humiliate rather than educate. It is, literally, only in the last few pages that he makes the big transformation to loving good guy, but it is much too little, much too late. And to top it all off, we don't even get a love scene! Boo, hiss!! I wish I had read the other reviews here, first. I won't make that mistake again.
