content: My mother lent me this book, she thought I'd enjoy. HA! it was the worst load of garbage. If this was her early work she should have left in the box! Is she hard up for cash? The plotlines were all begged, borrowed, and stolen. The characters were square (which means not developed roundly). The sex scenes were overplayed or underplayed depending on how you tumble. Her male voices were lacking. She couldn't even find new names for the characters - had to borrow them from other authors. I have never read any of her other books and now I certainly never will. I'm told she is a very good writer, so shouldn't she have known better than to publish this drivel? My brain/senses need(s) a day of bad television to wash the haunting memories of a bad book away. Even Matlock reruns would be better! I know that sounds harsh, but gosh, this book was really truly horrible!
