review 1: Believe me, I'm not the kind of person to turn down a book because there is violence or rape in It. It could be an important part of a great story if you like a bit of angst. But this book is total nonsesnse The male character rapes her the first night he meets her.... and It was rape, he even threatened to call his goons to assist in the rape if she didnr colaborate. When she tells him that that is a crime he shows her a letter his brother wrote in her name where she made indecent prositions... So as he says "He is going to rape her and if she goes to the police nobody would belive her becouse of the letter" From this point on He discobers that the letter was fake because she was a virgin, but instead of letting her go and woo her, He imprisions her and makes her his ... moresex slave using threats against her old aunt. In other words he is a rapist, a blackmailer and when this kind of threat doesn't bring him the desired results... He uses psicological torture such as humillation and isolation. This so grave that they are traveling but she doesn't know where the yatch is going, like a pet dog you carry where you want without having give an explanation. This ow-so-healthy relationship ends no even by her hand (Well he had promised to send the yatch to send her back London but lied, another of his sick games) The on to end the slavery was his father that one day came into the Villa and threw her out as she was a prostitute. And now the female protaginst is back in London and has to listen to all the insults the poor BF he let behind has for her, when the jerk decides to come take her back.... And the SOB still laughs at her because his previous BF wants nothing to do with her anymore. He enters the girl apartment by force and explains to her that her stepfather had been very bad and he had fallen in love with her with only one glance when she was 17, So he had all the right to do what he did and now she had to marry him. Well the fenale character was beyond stupid and he has zero redeeming qualities, in the book there is not a romantic loving moment. The attaction she feels for him has not fundament: they didn't know each other from before, He raped her and humillated her, not once was he loving or caring with her till she became a mindless sex toy. This story is horrible and if there is a male as Alex, He belongs in Jail without doubt (And Natasha in a mental Institution)
review 2: You know what I have a bigger problem with than the forced sex scene? The idea that a 21 year old girl would have such a successful business. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen but it's very rare and shouldn't be a throwaway element in a book. I'm weird, I know. Okay on with the review. Sara Craven is an author who rarely works for me. This one was pretty par for the course. The heroine was weak and needed to take a stand at several different points in the book. The hero just rollercoastered right over her. I couldn't really get behind either the heroine nor the hero. Just okay. less
