Expect a lot of sex from the author known as an erotic writer--and not very good sex at that. I couldn't get into the characters. The protagonist is emotionally scarred from being abandandoned by his father and he really takes it out on his wife. She's a sad character also because after all the abuse she gets, she still falls in love with the guy. It was also annoying how she was totally helpless. I was hopefull in one scene where I thought her personality had improved and she would show some backbone, but it didn't last--in hindsight it was totally out of her character and I don't even know why the author teased me with the hope of her having any useful qualities.

I can say that I like the book nor that I hated it. I love the author most of the time. I am not happy that the book had incest in it.

Great author but this, unfortunately, is far from her best work. Most of the characters are far from likable. The men are cruel, crude, and selfish. The women are spineless and silly. And those are the "good" characters.
The bad ones are all that and more - but at least those characters are supposed to be that way. I liked the brother Jack. Too bad the book wasn't all about him. This one was a total miss.
