    So you think the power dynamic will automatically change once they get hitched?! I mean, once they've invoked the magic of marriage, it means she doesn't have to cook or clean or take care of his mother for him or remember her place anymore...


    oh wait.

    My mom, a doctor, once told me all radiologists are weirdos because they spend all their time in rooms without windows. I don't think this is 100% true, but it's probably a good guideline.

    @Antrack: Haha...makes sense if you think about it. Maybe all the residual exposure to weird energy waves does something too.

    so if she marries him does that mean she can finally read one of the books in the office while greedily feasting on cream cakes?

    The cover art looks like a love story between a man and a man dressed up as Fievel from An American Tail.

    haha, i so used to read Mills and Boons as a teen but i would skip to the bad parts and even then it was hilarious because just the way sex was described was so ridiculous, you know that throbbing, quivering member bullshit. Wow, memories.

    The lack of "rapiness" really is a letdown, but it sound like it's sort of in there (with the whole poker in her back hard kiss) so all is not lost.


    But, I think we are kind of missing the true beauty of this story. He is a doctor! She is not that pretty! He is going to marry her anyway!!! What is a little denigration and slavery compared to that??

    Betty Neels, if that's your real name, you really should've considered S&M erotica over mainstream bodice-rippers.

    How We Know He's Actually a Good Guy: He's "a wonderful son" and apparently a really competent doctor.


    This sounds like my mother's philosophy of life.

    Oh, dear God. Obviously they were trying to make him like Mr. Rochester, but looks like they were trying too hard.


    Seriously, what (real) woman in her right mind would fall for a man like that?
