From Publishers Weekly
Flawed and predictable, Howard's latest offering after Dream Man is the rather cliched contemporary story of a dirt-poor Southern girl in love with the handsome son of a Louisiana town's wealthiest family. Loving Rouillard men seems to run in the Devlin family. Twelve years ago, Renee Devlin and Guy Rouillard disappeared simultaneously one summer night. The entire town assumed the longtime lovers had eloped, and Guy's handsome young son, Gray, enraged, had the remaining Devlins driven out of town, leaving 14-year-old Faith to care for her fatally ill baby brother. Now Faith is back, financially independent and still nursing a passion for Gray that his actions couldn't possibly justify. But she's also ready to even the score?especially when she learns that the elder Rouillard may have been murdered that fateful summer night. Faith is not as sympathetic as Howard's previous heroines, and Gray goes a half-step beyond the acceptable bad-boy hero. Howard does manage to offset these problems with provocative secondary characters and borderline erotica, creating a sexy speed read.

I hated the characters,

This review is from: After The Night (Mass Market Paperback)
Story Summary: Faith Devlin had been run out of town by Gray Rouillard when he found out that her mother and his father and run away together. Several years later Faith returned to prove that Grays father did not run away with her mother. Gray and Faith immediately clash because he still blames Faiths mother for breaking his family up. There is suspense and sexualy tension in the book and you'll have to read it if you want to find out about what really happened to Grays father. Now to why I didn't like the book.First, I hated Gray. He was a total jerk (I'm being nice with my language because I think there is a better word to describe him). He was absolutely cruel to Faith. He really made her life miserable. And after they made love the first time and he made the comment that if having sex with Faiths mother had been like that no wonder his father couldn't stay away, I would have knocked him on his butt. Then he calls her the next day like nothing ever happened and gets angry when she doesn't talk to him. It was very hard to finish the book and I kept hoping that Gray would redeam himself. He never really did. Second, I hated Faith just as much. She had absolutely no back bone and let Gray treat her poorly. Everytime she tried to stand up to him he just beat her down emotionally. It would have been a good book if the characters had been better.

This review is from: After The Night (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a book about an abusive man and white trash woman who is too needy and pitiful to not understand that she is being abused. Please don't get me wrong-I love Linda Howard, but this guy is no hero. (...)
