Review: This is romance?  Huh? More like control....
Rating: 2 out of 5

Even given the time this book was written, i just don't get how it is romance....the 'hero' kidnaps, tries to intimidate, and control the heroine.  He never professes or shows any real love for her.  That he wants her, yes.  He even deceives her as to the meaning of a tradition he convinces her to be part of, that it is only a game. But he, in turn, takes this tradition as having real consequences he intends to hold her to without her knowledge. How is that 'love' by any stretch of the imagination?  His actions show a desire to control her, not love for her.This book would send a counselor at an abused womens' shelter into seizures.That being said, I do like the author's writting style but I need to question the judgement shown in her storyline.
