The 'hero' kidnaps the heroine and their son. That is a crime. I am sick and tired of these Harlequin 'heros' doing illegal stuff like this and then getting away with it. Then he blackmails her, another crime. Sorry but I don't find men who have to hold their women captive and then subject them to verbal abuse sexy. In fact I found the hero repulsive and respected her heroines initial decision not to inform him of his sons birth. No sane woman would want a guy like that around her child. The hero always comes in all hang dog in the end and darn if his crazy antics were all because he loved her and completely ignores the real damage that could have been caused. Bad book, bad premise bad hero with a self sufficient heroine that should have simply taken the hero to court and established legal conditions that would have prevented her problems. The bracelet stuff was stupid, if you loved this woman so much why did you say no and dump her when she asked you to marry her?

THIS IS NOT IT! The man (can't call him a hero) is abusive; both verbally (how many times did he call her a bit--?), mentally (he kidnapped her and her child), and physically (how many times did he grab her so hard it was painful?). This is not romance. This book was disturbing.

It seems that many of JB's books have been vastly over-rated on this site, & this definitely seems to be another 1 of those.... I read this book just once & thought that it just wasn't a very likely story at all even if this was just a work of fiction, & that I'd not be interested in reading it ever again....

Try "Marriage at His Convenience" or "The Reluctant Fiancee" if U want a good one by JB!
