What women want, Part One Million? I'm sure this book would give 50 Shades of Grey a run for it's money - old school. Completely absolutely absurd behavior for a woman in the 1900's, much less a modern day heroine. She's "spunky?"  Well she's darn dumb and has a smart mouth - but that's offset by the fact she knows Karate or Judo or something.  And she's young, firm and oh so beautiful that even her Grandaddy wants her to show off her boobs?  It's LOL funny, which is kind of a shame.  The author does a great job of description and narrative, has some fresh ideas and writes okay sex scenes - they just feel like they should be in a different book, or they're rushed and randomly inserted.  Three days after the graphically violent opening the young woman has recovered enough to attend a dinner party with the state Governor, and attempt a seduction of her rescuerer.  And, she's rich enough not to care that the women in her community comment on her attack - and the theme of she deserved it as well is continued.  Kind of odd that the hero is related to the Grandfather, too - not sure there's enough degrees of separation there to be completely comfortable with the sex theme, either.However, if you're looking for total dominance, Stockholm syndrome and slightly kinky sex - this is a great read!
