Lee (rapid-reader) - reviewed on 8/5/2010

I have mixed feelings about this book! It may reflect somewhat the romance style at the time it was written or more likely what would really be true for the historical period it was written. as said, to the conqueror goes the spoils, that is all too true here. I thought there was ALOT of rape and forced sex, as well as sex without any sensitivity. It is hard to understand that could be a basis for real romance or love, and the book was more of a disappointment to me. it didn't seem 'real' although there is that psychological thing about captives falling in love with their captors possibility.as a romance it didn't work for me, but it was pretty well written and there were certainly interesting aspects to the story.
