Title: This is one bad book
Product review: Even in the realm of the "bodice ripper" there's a line between "romance" and "rape," and Ms. Mason has crossed that line. A "romance" involves an improbable match, developing into love and triumphing over great odds. What we have in Ms. Mason's heavy-handed tale, however, is a brutish "hero" repeatedly forcing himself upon our heroine, who, lacking any self-respect (or instruction in battered woman's syndrome, apparently), promptly and improbably falls in love with him.The "love story" of this book isn't about "romance" or even "seduction;" it's about conquest and humiliation. It's ugly in its complete lack of either sensitivity or subtlety. Throw in some transparent "twists" and drag the story out interminably, and there you have "My Lady Vixen."Where this book isn't simply poorly written and silly, it's disturbing.
