I'll admit, I was mislead by the reviews. So many people labeled this book as the best romance book ever. I'm still trying to shake some of its disturbing images from my head. I won't do a recap of the book because it's already been done enough. I will say that some of the reviews that bashed the book about the amount of sex or Jamie beating Claire did not bother me while reading the book. No man should ever hit a woman, but that was how things were done back then and he also talked to her about the danger she put herself and others in before hand. He spanked her like you would a child. As for the amount of sex, it was more implying that they had sex, not vivid descriptions of sex. That is not the same thing. My problems with the book was that I felt too much time was devoted on threads that went no where. Why waste 10 pages on a person or issue that will never be mentioned again??? At one point, I just started skimming. My main issue with this book was the torture that the hero Jamie had to go through. I'm sorry, but there is NOTHING romantic about a man trading himself sexually to the villain for his wife's freedom. And then for the ordeal to be described???? Too much.
