Title: So Bad it Borders on Criminal
Review: Ditto what other reviewers wrote about how horrible this book is. For those reviewers who liked this book, most cite the time period in which the book was written, the 1970s, as justifying it. It's like, "Oh, they liked bodice-rippers back then." Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it. Are they saying that repeated rape was not only ok buy desirable in the 70s? (We're not talking seduction, but forcible, brutal rape over and over.) I was so turned off by this behavior on the part of the "hero" I was sickened. But the heroine falls in love with him?! How may women whose first introduction to sex was forcible rape suddenly fall in love with and sexually desire the rapist? I don't know how this author could conceive and pass off such horror as romance!
Is the review positive or negative?
