*SPOILER*  Honestly, I was dumbfounded when I found out right smack dab in the first 1/4th of this book, the handsome, dashing hero, Irish Colonel, Morgan McCormack, raped the lovely virgin, Felicite, and then proceeded to keep her as his kinda "love slave" because she thought he could help her get her father out of prison. No, she didn't have to keep complying but she had nobody to turn to in her efforts to help her father.Yes, Morgan seemed to be regretful of his actions but not enough to quit taking advantage of Felicite while he lived in her house, knowing she was being shunned by her neighbors and former friends. I did finish the book and some parts of the book were enjoyable, especially the latter part of the book.  However, I was so disgusted and upset by the rape, I could never get past it.  Apparently this book was first published in August 1983. I highly recommend that Jennifer Blake make some changes to this book - otherwise, I expect it will get some very bad reviews. I give it a low ONE STAR RATING due to the rape, even though technically it was very well-written.
