I used to love Cheryl Holt, but now . . . not so much. This book is indicative of the Holt that I don't like at all - unlikeable characters, idiotic plot points, and then the most unforgiveable of crimes - no romance. Yes, there was sex. But between the two main characters - the first time they do it was around page 200 and it was not that good a scene. There's lots of voyeurism, and disloyalty. The hero is simultaneously an idiot and a royal jerk to the heroine, for months and months. The heroine is simultaneously boring and quite stupid, taking the hero back into her bed after. . . um. . . she looks at him, despite his very hurtful and longstanding betrayals. But then he apologized so profusely - oh wait, no he doesn't. At all. I can't even say this book was formulaic - because the formulas for romance novels are good. This book . . . isn't even good enough to be called formulaic. It's just. . .boring and not worth your time to read it.
