Review title: a truly horrible book
Product review: I simply cannot believe that this book was written by the same author that wrote Son of the Morning. I consider myself a big fan of Linda Howard, but this work was so awful that I'm sorry I spent my time (and money) on it. It's truly one of the worst books I've ever read. Both main characters were repulsive: the "hero", an abusive control freak and the "heroine", a schizophrenic weeping mess. The plot line (such as there is) is repetitive and boring. In addition, I was horrified to see several instances of sexual assault (if not rape) handled as if it were an acceptable course of events between two people; when a woman says "no" and a man uses force to continue, that's assault. Don't waste your time or money on this one; try Howard's "Son of the Morning" or "Dream Man" for good romantic suspense.
