I was very disappointed when I read this book. Usually, I like Jayne Ann Krentz's books very much, but I constantly wanted to yell at Emily not to be such a wimp. She had just managed to stand up to her family and then she let herself be ordered around by her lover! And of course this Jacob wasn't one of my favorite characters either. I think bossy men are horrible and not even heroines in romances should fall in love with them.
