A friend who thought I needed a laugh lent me this one. Laugh? boy did I ever. It's SUCH a stereotypical erotica. We've got no plot (though a little is thrown in near the end), some purple prose and questionable grammar, and exaggerated and conformist gender roles. Hello strong warrior man who knows nothing of love but is ACTUALLY totally misunderstood and needs to civilizing influence of a woman. Greetings healer woman who has daddy issues/mommy issues/abusive ex-boyfriend issues, and needs a strong hard man to break through those emotional barriers with the subtlety and finesse of a jackhammer. From a standpoint of it being a good book, it fails like the Hindenburg. But if you need literary crack to ease your aching brain after midterms/reassurance that if you find the right publisher, you can get anything in print, no matter how bad your story, I recommend it.

Dawn Ang Hilariously sarcastic and entirely true review. :)

I read the first book the series and it was a perfect break from all the required reading for my courses. I'll be doing the same for the second one. HAHA!
