Sooooo politically incorrect but I loved it regardless.

Be prepared for a bodice ripper. However, AAR's review is a D and I think it would be wise for you to read it. It gives fair warning to some of the plot elements that many readers may consider offensive.


But I just let myself enjoy it.

Didn’t Like It

This book stirred quite a controversy on romance blogs, because of the dark hero and unequal power balance between hero and heroine. I found it neither as distasteful nor as spectacular as some readers reported. The characters' histories are certainly intense, but I would rate it significantly higher if the writing were more taut; scenes tended to drag, working against the tension of the story. This was a first novel, so I'll try one of Campbell's later books.
