by Eloisa James
Jesus everlovin' Christ, how many romances have rape? She said no, she friggin' meant it.
Meh. It was okay. A good first book but I find myself liking her later writing better. The book was fine, I guess but didn't hold my interest. I skimmed too much of the later part of the book to give this three stars. Originally posted on GR in April 2013
There was not nearly enough groveling on Alex's part to make up for the horrible things he said, not once, but twice. Charlotte forgave him way, way too easily. Kind of killed the book for me.
While this story had potential, it was just to contrived and didn't make too much sense. I really didn't like the characters especially the male protagonist.

I really wish I read this series in order, because then it wouldn't have given so much away. I have to say this was the best from the 3 books. The others come in *very* close and again I have to hand it to Eloisa James she really knows how to write drama and angst-filled forlorn couples. This is tot...
Nice writing and interesting plot in this deeply emotional romance.

The fact that after hating both protagonists I ...
