Review title: No, seriously, it's really that awful
Product review: I love Linda Howard, but oh boy! was this a stinker. The other reviewers are right - the "hero" is so irredeemably awful and the heroine is so moistly ineffectual, that I wanted to throw up. This is not some post-feminist, can't-men-be-more-like-women rant. I love strong, capable heroes, but Nick is a spousal-abuse case waiting to happen.And the heroine - what does it say that I don't even remember her *name*! She puts the "co" in co-dependent. She keeps saying she'll just turn Nick away and get him to leave her alone, but she never says "no" like she means it. Why not call the cops, refuse to answer the door, leak the story to the press, etc? It's not like this was feudal England and she had no options.If you want to read a good romance with a strong, difficult hero, I'd recommend "Duncan's Bride" (Howard) or "These Old Shades" (Georgette Heyer).
