Title: rape scene equals bad (spoilers ahead!)
Review: Ok, I know that the male heroes in Judith McNaught's novels are brooding and dark, with deep secrets that explain why they are who they are etc. But for me this one took it just a bit too far with the wedding night rape scene. And at the end, when through a series of elaborate misunderstandings the hero realizes the heroine isn't dead, it seems like he wants to beat her senseless for scaring him! Um, this one was just a little too angsty/ravishment fantasy/weird for me. Ms. McNaught, you grossed me out.Interestingly, I read this novel for a class on popular literature, and I was looking forward to reading something fun for class. I was disappointed.
