Title: Put the book down slowly on the ground and back away
Review: Catherine Coulter is one of my favorite romance authors, but this book has to be the worst she's written in terms of plot and character. Her 'hero' is actually cruel at one point. Throughout the book, in the guise of being a 'real man', he expects the 'heroine' to do all the compromising and sacrificing while he feels noble for actually loving and marrying her. And she accepts it! I had to read this book twice just to be sure I actually remembered how awful it really is. Never again.To top it off, it's like Ms. Coulter dashed this off in a weekend and called it good. No emotional investment in the characters, no clear resolution of conflicts. I seldom meet a book I don't like, but this is one of them.
