I don't care for the heroine in this story....way too much crying. Seems to be blowing hot and cold throughout the book. Certainly not my favorite book by this author.

i really like howard's novels, but this one was disappointing. the hero is such an overbearing, manipulative jerk, i'm not even sure how the heroine falls for him in the first place. she's supposed to feisty, but she's crying and bemoaning her love for the dude at every turn.

Jessica Stanton, a financially independet widower, is the only woman to oppose Nikolas Constantinos, Greek billionare. Because of his uncontrolled response to her and her defiance, Niko belives it is fine to treat Jessica like a disobidient dog. The only repulsive thing he did not do to this character is physically beat her, and truthfully I don't think that would have shocked me as some of the things he did throughout the book.
This book, although it is appalling, demonstrates how much Howard has drawned and pushed her female characters into confident roles in her recent works

I love most books from Linda Howard, but not this one! The Hero is an overbearing, mean jerk, who's attentions I would say are basically harassment and stalking, someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word NO, no matter how many times she kept saying it. I don't see how the heroine could have fallen in love with him. And then, the there is the heroine...for someone who supposedly was a woman of the world, self-assured and independently wealthy, she sure didn't show a back bone at all. I am glad this book was a loaner instead of spending my money on it. This is an outdated story written back in the 80's and it shows.
