I bought it, despite it being so short, because of the reviews. Sadly, I was right.What I do not like about this book :*The subject is a VERY hard one (see blurb), and I really do not think it was handled with care it deserves. The book leaned towards a fun/sexy read, and with subject such as this, it does not go.*It is too short, and about 1/4 of it is pure PWP sex. It is nice that characters are having fun, but frankly boring for readers.*I disliked the characters, especially Owen (the one rescued from the sea). On one hand he promises to stay, to love and cherish, and at a first greater obstacle, he caves in. He KNOWS that he is dealing with a person with difficult (mildly put!) past, and skewed values, and he does not take that into account when judging this person's reaction. Frankly a non-insightful quitter.*A added plot line of a vengeful ex-boyfriend is so obviously (unsuccessfully) grafted, that it frankly irritates, and adds nothing to either plotline or character development.Note : if you would like a book that deals with similar theme (though in a quite different circumstances), with care, sympathy and quite a bit of a insight, see "Matelots, raised by the wolves" by Hoffman (4 books, each more than 600 pages)
