I hated this book. It started out well, and was well written. But the undercurrent of violence towards women made me a bit uneasy. Then came the big payoff. A very artificial and contrived scene which seemed to be there only to support the male lead whipping the female lead. We are to believe that him whipping her, no doubt leaving a lifelong scar across her back, is a sign that he loves her.
There's enough violence to women in the world already, it doesn't need to be glorified and excused, as it is here. Although she's clearly a skilled writer, I would never buy or pick up another Jo Beverly book. I felt dirty for reading it, and it bothered me for days after finishing it.
