review 1: This was just so so. Told in the POV of Charity an immature sheltered woman that had just escaped from a polygamist sect it does try to offer you something new. However, the one dimensional characters seem flat as a pancake. I never cared for Russ or Charity no matter how much he did or what money he threw around. The fact that he was all domineering to her knowing how she just escaped that same twisted type of environment was just odd. Every problem that surfaced was solved with his money or he would just spank her if she gave him lip about something. Never really showed much of a development of the characters, they had sex and that's how they communicated, alot!!! The way she was waked back and forth with her feelings and being too proud to not caring was indeed stupid.... more Most things were handled with out much detail and issues cropped up and disappeared quickly. It had it's moments few and far between. review 2: On my Cowboy Scale of Hotness: 3 stars (Russ sounded sizzlin' hot!) Endearing story albeit highly unrealistic and unlikely. However I needed to read a romantic fantasy and this one fit the bill. I liked the idea of Charity and Russ together as much as I like Cinderella and Prince Charming. Although Charity was the most hapless soul, male or female I've ever read, Russ in any other story with a "partner" would have been the ideal mate. Thus, the 3 stars are for Russ alone. less
