First Sentence
Somewhere in the world, time no doubt whistled by on taut and widespread wings, but here in the English country it plodded slowly, painfully, as if it trod the rutted road that stretched across the moors on blistered feet. Lire la première page

1.0étoiles sur 5 A nauseating book, Jui 14 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Flame And The Flower Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
A friend strongly recommended this book to me, and I unwisely read it. I was revolted. My friend insisted that after the initial few rapes, the hero really redeems himself and all is well... yeah, right. I could not bring myself to feel any warmth for a man who rapes a woman without remorse, and then - all while taunting and mocking her tears - tells her that she will have to be his mistress and will eventually come to beg for his attention (again, telling her this while silencing her protests with threats and mocking laughter, and forcing himself on her again and again!). Then, after she escapes and he finds out that she has become pregnant, he is galled at the thought of having to marry her and swears to her tear-filled face that he'll make her life miserable. Sure, much later in the book, he becomes more affectionate, but for me, nothing could wear off the impression of his initial assaults - and his cruel, cocky remorselessness - followed by the months of temperamental fits, snarling speech and debasing treatment. The fact that the heroine fell in love with this beast is something that can be attributable only to Stockholm Syndrome. She is stuck with him and tries to make the best of it, thanking the Lord that at least he's easy on the eyes. Ooh, how romantic; my knees are knocking. Regardless of what the cultural norms of the time were, Captain Birmingham's behavior is loathsome; one need look at his brother - a man raised in the same culture and era - to see who truly should have been the hero of the novel.

This has been only the second romance novel I've read; the first was Saving Grace by Julie Garwood - the hero there also likes to raise his voice and act in a gruff manner, but there's no mistaking the underlying humanity, integrity and gentleness in him, not to mention the fact that he truly respects the heroine, encourages her to be herself and does not try to squash her spirit (there, despite a nearly equal gap in ages to the one in The Flame and the Flower, I could understand why the two fell in love). So unlike the emotional and mental abuse heaped on the heroine of this novel, who is sufficiently broken and resigned to her lot to desire her repugnant husband's love! Before the inevitable declarations of mutual love, she is so starved of comfort that she snatches up any little kindess he occasionally offers when the whim strikes him. He's disgusting and distinguishable from the villains of the novel only by his good looks, which are supposed to somehow make up for his boorish behavior.

3.0étoiles sur 5 OK Book, Mai 19 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Flame And The Flower Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
I was eager to read this book after having read all the reviews. I was aware of the rape scenes and have to admit they were not as bad as I thought they would be. However, I am struck by how submissive Heather was despite supposedly being half Irish. The characters continually said how much of a temper she had, but she was always coiling away from Brandon. I was touched by the love story but could not bring myself to understand how Heather could end up loving her raper. This book was definitely better than KW's newest story, The Reluctant Suitor, but I did not enjoy the way the love story came about.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Flame and the Flower, Mars 23 2004
This review is from: Flame And The Flower Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
If you get the chance, read this book!!! It is a classic. And to those who seem to find it distasteful, "Please," get over it. The "rape" scene happened in the 18th century and should be viewed as very probably for that Period. It is not intended to reflect the values of our time. Therefore, it should be viewed and judged for the period it portrays.

As such, I found this to be one of my all time favorites of Kathleen Woodiwiss. I say one, because none of her books thus far have been able to top Shanna.
