Well... this has to be one of her earlier ones. The characters are kind of weak. The man in the story would be what I would consider emotionally abusive, and the woman too fickle. Otherwise, the plot was ok. 2 1/2 stars.
Great story. I like krentz. She's a great writer and I have read all her books

This book is not a good representative of the author's excellent ability. Cole threatens, intimidates, and practically date rapes Kelsey and justifies it by citing their mutual attraction. And she later agrees! It's a slap in the face to anyone trying to get out of an abusive relationship.
