Despite what everybody else thought, I really liked this book. I noticed that Desire After Dark was rated very high, and this book was very low. I think they are very similar books, but this one is beter, because it had more to it. This was my first romance book, and first Amanda Ashley book. It actually made me want to read all of her other books, and so far I enjoyed this book the most. It wasn't as sappy as some other book can be, and it had action in it. I would say just read it for yourself, because obviously people have very different opinions.
