content: This appears to be the hero's mantra, as he says it about 50 times throughout the book. The heroine, Joanna, throws it in a few times for good measure, too (odd language for a nun-wantabe)Also, I found Joanna's continual insistence that she just wanted to go back to St. Theresa's really irritating. She's like a freakin' broken record. Even after she's pretty sure she's in love with Rylan, and has shared some steamy scenes with him, she remembers that she hates him and still wants to be a nun. Not only did this get old really quick, it was so absolutely unrealistic for the medieval period. And the language - at times eye-rollingly stupid, like when Joanna refers to Rylan as "You huge oaf!" Finishing this book was a real chore...
