3.5 stars.I have mixed feelings about this book. Definitely more good than bad though. On one hand, I loved the story - even all the un-pc aspects of it that everyone is hating on it for. Whitney was a refreshing heroine. She didn't have the same old, same old personality of the typical romance heroine. I loved her spunk. She kept things lively. Clayton our hero was a good match for her. I liked that he was a real alpha and took her in hand. That's what a bodice ripper is all about, so I just sa ...more

I loved some parts of this book, and loved McNaught's writing. I liked the first part of this book much better than the second part.
