Mixed bag for this reader. As much as I liked Noah, I found Olivia difficult to take. Yeah we get that she has low self-esteem because of her past as a sort-of whore. But it just wasn't enough to propel a book that long. I found the villian tedious and most of the last 100 pages too predictable. Noah was sweet, kind, innocent, and gullible. Olivia was sold into sexual slavery but essentially "liked" having sex with her captor too much. I don't blame the heroine for this, I blame the author. Woman forced into sexual slavery likes it? She's a sensual being so she can't help herself? I don't buy it and found it harmful to the integrity of the characters and ultimately the entire story.

I always feel a bit betrayed by authors who write women like this, and who write love scenes where penetration = orgasm for a woman. Probably not going to read more by Landis.
