Title: Not for me
Product review: I've read and enjoyed two other Robards books, which I would recommend over this one: "Shattered," and "Obsession." She is a great romance author who knows how to write an engaging story. Unfortunately, this particular novel falls under that frustrating style of romance that was inexplicably popular in the 1980's: characters who hate each other, and yet inevitably fall into the sack together... Bleh. She made the characters so ornery and opinionated that they were too hard to love. Jack is tough, yes, but he is so mean to Clara that he comes across as a jerk. And Clara is tough too (in her own way), but her vindictiveness and inexplicable motivations make her equally impossible to love. Puff was fun, but even he wasn't enough to save this book for me. I put it down after page 157.It wasn't poorly written, and I will still recommend Robards as an author, but this particular novel was not for me.I suggest her more recent material, instead.
