review 1: 'Why have you brought me out here?' she demanded. His hard mouth dented humorously. 'I'm not planning to rape you, if that's what's on your mind.''It isn't on my mind,' she said -angrily.His glance grew suddenly passionate. 'It's on mine,' he said, taking her breath away.*********'Don't fight me,' he said savagely. 'I've bought the right to do what I like with you.' *********She lay quiescent after that while his mouth crawled over her body, his teeth grazing her naked skin, his hands impatiently demanding. After a while he lifted his head and looked down at her blankly. She had given him no response whatever, her· senses deadened by a feeling of rage. She asked coldly, 'May I button my dress again now, or haven't you finished?' His hand slapped her hard across her face. ... moreShe gave a startled, incredulous cry of pain, and tears sprang to her eyes. 'Don't ever talk to me again in that voice,' he said savagely. 'Do your dress up and get out of here.' *******As he freed her hair and ran his hands down over her body, his breath coming faster, she pushed at his chest, struggling violently, hitting him in the face, her nails scratching at him. He drew back his head out of her reach, his face a pale triangle beneath the dark cap of his hair. 'Stop fighting me, damn you! ' 'You're hurting me,' she panted, still struggling. 'I told you, I don't want to tonight .. .' 'I want to hurt you,' he said in harsh honesty. 'Do you think I don't know why you can't sleep? Your mind's somewhere else, isn't it? Well, your body can't escape me.' ********'When I bought you I bought all of you. I don't want half a wife. I will not leave here in the morning not knowing if you're with him or not while I'm at work.' His hand seized her wrist, tightening cruelly on her until she, cried out softly against the pain. 'Am I making myself clear? I can't stop you loving the bastard-I wouldn't even try. But I will not have you meeting him in secret. From now on, you're never to see him again. Never.' His eyes bored into her. 'Do you get that? Never!' *********'Yes,' he said soberly. 'There's a great gulf between being moderately contented and rapturously alive. You've taken me to hell and given me all of heaven since I met you, and I wouldn't lose one hour of knowing you even to cancel out the anguish you made me suffer.'
review 2: description"I've no real choice, have I?" Laura asked.As long as she could remember, Laura had loved Dr. Tom Nicol, a gentle, self-sacrificing man, dedicated to serving the needy.Unlike him in every way was Randal Mercier--wealthy, powerful, taking what he wanted. And he wanted Laura.Her father's embezzlement of funds from Randal's company made it impossible for Laura to refuse his marriage proposal. She knew she must marry him but she didn't have to love him.She couldn't foresee her change of heart or the despair of knowing he was indifferent to it. less
