I usually like Jude Deveraux, but I absolutely hate this one. Why must the "hero" always belittle and mock the heroine's abilities to lead or think because she has a uterus? Arrogant, ignorant, high-handed, mocking - is this what romance writers think that women want? Why? I'll never understand it. A "change of heart" story where a boorish moron grabs at a woman and enjoys lording his power over her - but she's just so dang special he can finally see his error...she's just so much more swell and nifty than other women! What a load of CRAP!
The Heiress, also by Deveraux, has a much stronger heroine, Axia Maidenhall. Try that one. This one made me heartily sick in the first chapter.
