I quite enjoyed this one, even if the hero was (at one point) a little rougher than I would like -- quite mild compared to the some of the later (by later, I of course mean 1975-1983 -- I make it a general rule to never read any Harlequin originally published after 1983) books. I think he was grabbing at the heroine's wrists to prevent her from leaving the room or something, that's all. Such scenes always make me raise my eyebrows a bit -- but not too much, in this case. In any event, after all these months of spice, I find that I'm in the mood for some sugar (and that I generally like a little spice with my sugar, not a little sugar with my spice). So, after going off of bodice-rippers, I am now going off more sex-oriented Harlequins. I am in the mood for a few more books like this one -- books so clean you could eat off them (secular books, that is), and trying to discover some of the older books as well. No doubt I'll being dutifully diving into FORBIDDEN FIRE within the next week or so, however (I can't get enough of jealous heroes).
