1.0 out of 5 stars Arrogant, abusive hero wrecked the story for me, February 13, 2003

This review is from: False Promises (Mass Market Paperback)

I don't like so-called "romances" where the hero just about rapes the heroine, and then I am supposed to believe that they come to love each other. The hero takes the heroine's virginity because he thinks she isn't a virgin, and even though he starts the episode by forcing her, she begins to enjoy the intimacy. Yuck! Then, he makes an honest woman of her because it was the right thing to do. So, it would have been ok to start forcing himself on the heroine in an angry mood if she hadn't been a virgin? What an unlikable hero. This is supposed to be romantic? I was really disgusted by this whole thing. The hero was pretty much of a jerk, and the heroine a wimpette, but somehow I was supposed to believe that they were transformed by love into something honorable? I bought this book because I like reading about war-time romances. This was a huge disappointment. I threw the book away and won't bother trying any more by this author.
