This is my second reading of this book. I still loved it as much as the first time

This is one of my all time favorite books. The people who write hating it must hate masculine men but I love it!

One of my absolute favorite Judith mcnaught books. Whitney my love takes you on a one of a kind emotional ride . Please read it Judith is the original Bridgerton. Her books are timeless.

This book was way tooo long. Tooo much unreasonable and unbelievable conflict. Why she loved him was beyond this reader. To force a woman into undressing and sex is beyond reason . Don’t care how badly he feels afterward. This book was not one of Judith’s good ones.

I’d read the reviews of other people and let that cloud my mind to reading this book. I read it anyway. Yes some of the things that happened in this book could’ve been avoided by simple conversation. But then that wouldn’t of made for a very good book. The book was well written and worth read.

I’m mortified to say a friend recommended this book to me. My first extreme disturbance happened at the foreword where McNaught very nonchalantly and unnecessarily mentioned that she had named her main characters after her two children. I couldn’t no matter how much I tried—and boy did I try—to shake off and get past the feeling that she’s using her children’s names to describe people who would eventually have violent sex. Speaking of violence, I don’t understand how or why anyone would find Clayton’s predatory behavior okay let alone romantic!! This character is as if modeled after a psychopath! Yes, I understand there are certain “aggressive” tendencies that make for hot romance but not in this case. He is a predator and a stalker. There’s no two ways about it. And that first kissing scene had my skin crawling with the rape-y undertone. Actually now that I think about it, EVERY male in this book is a sex offender save for uncle Edward. The only reason I kept on reading this book was because I paid for it but even my own spent money can’t get me to finish it. Dropped right after the first kissing scene. Extremely disappointing and not worth you dollar.

I understand this was her first but I cannot stomach the way violent sex is approached and explained away. Her other books a better.

Love love love and love, l couldn’t stop reading it and rereading it and rereading, not sure why it touched a special place in my heart Thank you very much for the lovely novel.... for the smart characters for all the people in the novel the heroine Whitney and her strength Plan to buy the other novels of the series Loved it triple much

This is by far my favorite book! I love the story telling structure and how after you finished reading there are no loose ends to anything that happens in the story. I felt the emotions the characters were having as my own! That’s how deep I was into this book.

Amazing book! Couldn’t put it down. A lot of conflict.
