Title: couldn't stomach reading past page 150...
Review: I am astonished by all the 5 star reviews for this book. I'm generally of fan of K. Woodiwiss, but I couldn't get past the first 150 pages or so of this book. What I did read left me feeling sick and anxious. As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, the male "hero" of the story rapes this 17 year old girl 3 or 4 times (despite her loud protestations and the fact that she was violently shaking all over) and he merely laughs and makes fun of her and tells her "she'll like it eventually." And we're supposed to cheer this couple on? The "hero"continues to threaten her after the wedding until the point I stopped reading. I just couldn't continue reading this for entertainment. The most violent storyline of any "romance" I have ever read. I'd recommend A Rose in Winter instead...
