This book is a very hard read. There are harsh scenes that you rarely see. It's difficult to shock me, but I found my jaw dropped numerous times. The author was fantastic. It was very well written and put together. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there was so little positive to offset all the horrible things that happened and because it's LONG. Definitely worth the read, though, if you have the stomach.

review of another edition
Pre-Reading (5/9/15): I wasn't sure until I read the prologue but this was the first bodice ripper I ever read (I was 15, at that point) and I was not expecting the crazy in it. I'm excited to re-read this and see how I read it now.
ETA (3/16/16): I will sum up this book with one sentence. You can see where a lot of western romances get their inspiration, and they pale in significance to this book. It's very hard to top this book.
Also Roger's wrote parts of this book one-handed, I swear. ;)

This is a true bodiceripper. I don't give it 5 stars because of the love story in it, but because of its entertainment value. The hero and heroine are INCREDIBLY flawed, but that what makes it so good. The hero does things to the heroine that are almost unforgivable. The heroine makes her share of mistakes. Both of them have horrible things done to them and are scarred people in the end. When it comes down to it, though, they love each other and that's that.

This is a re-read for me. The first time I read this I would have without hesitation given it 5 stars. I loved this story! But after many many years and hundreds of novels later, this time around it would be a 4 star. I will never forget Steve Morgan and Ginny Brandon and I'm giving it 5 stars......for old times sake!

Finally! No words, just weird sounds of anger, crazy, stressful, emotional ties.
