Truth? I thought the writing was terrible for the first 1/3 to 2/3 of this book because the language and sentence structure was really choppy and difficult to follow. The action-packed opening had much less impact because the bad stuff happened way before I was attached to any particular character. I almost put the book down before The Frenchman was even introduced. It took me a long time and many, many pages to warm up to Bai and Elena at all.But - by the last 1/3 of the book I was completely engaged, and found the erotica both hot and mostly original. I liked that when Elena acted like a child, Bai treated her like a child. I also thought the climax was well executed, with stubborn and immature Elena acting as an unlikely heroine.The Frenchman's Woman was ultimately a pretty satisfying read.
