Ugh. This book is a plethora of painful, eye-rolling, cringe-worthy moments. I suppose it was a good-enough story to get me to finish it (albeit with much skimming and page-skipping). But love scenes where there is no female preparation followed by her instant orgasm on penetration just drive me nuts. Maybe Johanna Lindsay is a man because I can't credit love scenes written that way. The female body just doesn't work like that.
The heroine was the biggest weakling, wimp. She never stood up for herself with anyone. She was utterly spineless and I never felt any sympathy for her. She repeatedly followed ridiculous orders. She was a ninny who was afraid of her own shadow, imo, but this was never addressed. She got a 14 year old girl publicly whipped while she in similar circumstances was scared to prevent her own rape for fear of someone slapping her? Just thinking about her reminds me how much I disliked her throughout the book.
Yeah, and that's the end of my experiment with Johanna Lindsey.
