I have to agree with everyone else on this one. The thing is in my opinion most of Christine Feehan's Carpathian novels have all borderlined on abuse. This on just really took the cake. Even though it was good he began to see how wrong he was for the way he treats her I still found him to be extremely self absorbed throughout the entire novel. Even there sexual encounters in my opinion where really all about him and had little to do with her at all. Overall this book was a bit of a disapointment. I am not sure if I am going to continue with this series even though I really want to see Skyler's story.
