From Library Journal
Upon learning that he is the offspring of an incestuous union and hence might be prone to inherited madness, Seth Tyler picks a battle with his fiancee, opera singer Penelope Parrish, leaving her abandoned and pregnant. He rediscovers her several years later working as a singer in a Denver dance hall he buys as part of a long-range scheme of revenge against the mother who abandoned him. When the hero and heroine do finally get together, the reader is wrung out from the turgid combination of Victorian melodramatic plotting and a lot of not very Victorian sex. The power struggles and remembered pain between the two protagonists lessens the tenderness of the highly charged, very erotic sex scenes. From the author of Yesterday's Roses (NAL, 1995).?MKC
