Title: Very disappointing -- not up to JL's usual standards!
Product review: I normally love JL's books, however, this one I really, really didn't like. First of all, it was difficult to get engaged with the story because both of the main characters were so unlikeable. The romantic "hero" is a man bent on revenge ... OK, I could deal with that. What I couldn't get past was this "hero" rapes and then later hits Corinne. I couldn't get past either of those acts and couldn't figure out why she would either. Corinne, however, decides to chase after her deserter husband and pose as a whore (after first deciding to adopt out her baby and then deciding to keep it but not tell Jared). By the time they both admitted to loving the other, my only question was "WHY?". Unlikeable characters, slow plot, unbelievable "romance" ... the only saving grace was a peek into Hawaii prior to/during the revolution.
