Title: When did spouse abuse become a "Romance"?
Review: If I could give less than a One Star rating, this sorry excuse for a "Romance" would get it. The slow-moving story of a young woman forced into an abusive marriage just drags on and on. There is the usual amount of friction between the two main characters in ther beginning, but that quickly turns to the young bride being subjected to continuous humiliations and repeated physical punishment at the heavy hands of her loutish husband. However, the most upsetting aspect is that the poor thing actually believes that everything is her fault, and that she deserves the cruelty!! I only finished this book because I thought that, at the conclusion, Adam, the husband, would see the error of this actions, be remorseful and seek to change his behavior and allow his wife with some dignity and kindness. That didn't come about, and I was left with a disgusted impression of the whole mess.
