Let's start by saying that when I first started reading, I really thought I was going to get to read about a female character with some backbone for a change. Boy was I wrong. Oh, she acted like she had one, but immediately lost it the second he said something. Pathetic. I am really just sick of reading about women who cow down to a man because he knows how to get them off. After he makes all these apologies and you think they might make some headway, the bad guys break into the house and he locks her in a closet so he can keep her safe. Yet he know that she is an expert shot and he gives her a gun. And she saves his butt after breaking out of the closet. For a second you think she grew a backbone when she tells him that when it counted, he didn't keep his word, and tells him again to sign the divorce papers. He finally does, but now she can't go through with it, and goes back to him ready to apologize. For what? Sticking up for yourself? And I really wanted to scream when he handcuffs her to the bed and she asks ever hurt you?" Um...he just drugged her a few hours before, and then handcuffed her to himself before handcuffing her to the headboard so he had both his hands to "help her loosen up". Yeah, I would call drugging someone hurting them. I don't care if it's because you're supposedly trying to protect them or not. Geez!And when she finally gets him to agree to let her handcuff him to the bed, she teases him for all of 30 seconds, because the lustful look in his eyes was just too much, before she caves and starts riding him. She can't even show strength in that!Author really needs a Thesaurus...The word Involuntary was just used too many times. It seemed like everything they did was `involuntary'. And seriously, these characters swallow A LOT! They were always swallowing. It seemed really stupid. Real people don't do this. If you do, then please see your doctor.Then we have ever present inconsistencies. One minute he's standing toe to toe with her, then he's taking steps towards her. Stuff like this is scattered all through-out the book. I have had this same issue with several of this authors books. She really needs to keep better notes while writing, and please, get a better editor. Missing or incorrect words really kill a story. Using words like hadn't instead of had really take a minute for the reader to correct on their own. If I have to stop reading to go back and try and figure out what word should have been there, we have a problem.The only reason I finished this book is because I cannot standing not finishing a book. I guess I really am trying to give the author a chance to redeem the book, but it just never happened with this one.
