It's books like this that remind me why I don't usually read a lot of these 'modern' (yet sadly dated) Harlequin's.
The author's character's are shallow and tacky. I mean really, I thought it's supposed to be a romance-- Instead a person ends up reading about a woman who's suffering from some warped kind of Stockholm Syndrome who easily gets over being practically raped on her wedding night and a guy who bullies her around in ways that would be considered physically abusive today. Read at your own peril, I did and am slapping myself for it! :P
