Title: We now call this emotional abuse
Review: This book is as chauvinistic as it can get. Some people might like the main male character, Russ, being mentally abusing to the heroin but that's just not for me. He spends the entire book provoking her and then yelling at her or calling her names when she responds to the provokation. And no one else in the book seems to see (or just doesn't want to see or doesn't care) how much he hurts her until the very end, otherwise they just excuse all his actions because he's a hard man. It also bothers me that she apologizes all the time after he's mean to her. I've found that Diana Palmer books are either a hit or a miss. A lot of her characters are abusive and the heroin just takes it while saying she loves him. I have found a few that are real love stories where the hero doesn't have to be abusive to be the macho man character Palmer seems to favor, but they're hard to find.
