Here's a few reasons why I wouldn't recommend it...
1. The main character, Genny. She stays with Alec and "loves" him it seems because of the sex even though he continually threatens her, calls her pathetic, etc. But when he kisses her, all is forgotten... maybe she IS pathetic.
2. Alec. Apparently the only reason anyone is interested in him is for looks, sex and maybe wealth.
3. The sex scenes: Almost soft rape. Taking advantage of a virgin after her dad dies, tying down and molesting a woman you barely known against her wishes, sex after ridiculing your wife. Lots of crying....
4. The rest of the uninteresting storyline.
All in all, unless you like really sexist heros who control and ridicule the heroine, don't waste your time or your money on this book.

this is the first book that i have read by Catherine Coulter. i could not put it down. i am know an instant fan of Catherine Coulter. if you can get your hands on this books i hope you do.

Genny and Alec meet in America and from that point on it goes downhill. This book was immediately put in the trash. I kept reading it hoping it would get better, it didn't, it got worse. Alec was a barbarian and needed taken down a notch or two. He wasn't even worthy of Nesta, let alone Genny. There was no real closure to their problems and Alec's cruel heart, either. How could you believe he loved her? Genny needs to hit him on the head again.

Why do authors persist in writing about heroes no hot blooded woman would give the time of day? I was totally disappointed in this book...and have come to the conclusion that Coulter's historicals are a risky buy. I mean, 75% of the time I am disappointed! I am going to stick to her contemporaries...where I at least know the heroine will not allow herself to be treated that way. Sheesh! This book was horrible!

Any time I read a book and it can bring forth an emotion, it's got to be well written. Catherine Coulter's book always have that effect on me. And this one is no exception. I hate books that are predictable. Yes they all have happy endings, but it's the journey that makes it worth the time to read. And a trip with Ms. Coulter is always interesting. Hearts and flowers are great once in a while. But a steady diet is very boring. Give me a struggle, a knock down drag out fight, a handsome rogue with a heart, and a heroine who doesn't always look like Cindy Crawford and I'm in heaven. If you want everything sugar coated try Mary Poppins. But if you want to laugh, cry or just get ticked off... Give Ms. Coulter a try.

I enjoyed this book very much. In fact I have read all the books in the "Night series" Night Shadow, Night Storm and Night Fire and enjoyed each one.

this can be truly the most horrible book by ms. coulter. she's my favortie author, and she still is after this book. she put genny through so many humiliating moments! it'z really embarrassing for her! and alec is so arrogant and such a jerk! ms. coulter gave alec too much control over genny and this is the worst book i've ever read!

I liked the first half of this book, but towards the end things started to go terribly wrong. I began to feel terribly sorry for Genny, and even though I knew things were out of Alec's hands, his behavior to the end seemed inexcusable. Horribly mean. Didn't like it at all.
