review 1: This was so bad! He's an abuser and asswipe and she is a victim. I kept waiting for Keira to self injure herself because of the amount of emotional and mental abuse she experienced as a child and the lasting trauma of it into her adulthood. There are certain tropes of romance that I thought had ended. The guy who thinks that you are less than dirty cannot be someone you fall in love with. How do you fall in love with someone who treats you like crap from your first meeting? He thinks she's a prostitute because women can't have jobs that make them money! Even when she sets him straight he still thinks that she's uses her body to get ahead with men. This is call misogyny. If the man that get's you all hot and bothered hates you then you should see a therapist if you pursue h... moreim. Also if you are so hot and bothered, go take care of your needs solo. You do not need a man to get off. You have to like people to get involved with them and none of us are slaves to our bodies. I would like to just through this tired tropes out the window. I truly believe that anyone still writing with these tropes should not be allowed to published because they aren't even realistic fantasy material. Even if your kinky ran into humiliation scenes, this book would still not work for you. It's not consensual in anyway. Also how do you get with someone who literally tried to pay you for having sex with them just because you decided to leave when your work was done? There's no forgiveness for how he treated her. I hate that in the end she thought that she wasn't worthy of him because of her background. WTF? Seriously? If I had read the reviews I wouldn't have read this novel.
review 2: A disappointment.This is one of those annoying Harlequin stories that are a waste of time. The further I read it my heart clenched and hoped that things would get better. I didn't like the characters, they only think with their bodies and everything was based on lust. I hated Jay he's such an overbearing and demeaning hero it's a wonder why the heroine is attracted to him at all aside from his physical qualities.The author wasn't able to justify the attraction other than the devotion to ambitions and lust, everything's about how they're aware of each other - sexually, how the sexual tension ratchets up with a single touch, and how they can't control themselves around each other. I totally hated it and there wasn't even any romance! Jay insulted her 98% of the time and she's just a dirt rag. I do admire the times she talks back but it's not enough, if I were here I'd bitch slap him and shove some smelly socks in his mouth.The reason I gave it a star is because of the sex, this author writes hot ones so that's the only credit I could give. As usual, in the end they must end up together and so with little effort in the hero's part, no matter how rude and an ass he was, he's always forgiven and they always get married. Sucked! less

Worst hero and heroine ever. Coming off romance for a while cause this book truly disgusted me.

Horribly written story. This book was almost torture to read. Would not recommend.

I adore Penny Jordan but this book's characters were too one-dimensional.
