I like most of Sandra Brown's romance novels but not this one. Frankly I had to quit half way through. The male character was so surly and unlikeable it was hard to take. I can't imagine what would make the guy act like a decent human being and I was tired of waiting. The female character had suffered a horrible childhood after her father died and her mother remarried and had brought her into a home where she was repeatedly beaten and raped. The story starts with a young girl in the woods alone, in labor, having a stillborn child, left for dead. Not exactly heart-warming material to start off and it didn't get any better. I did not care about what a gorgeous bod the man had and I was tired of the constant talk about the woman's big breasts. I just saw very little joy in this so-called romance and didn't want to further drag myself down so I quit.
