I love pretty much anything Susan Elizabeth Phillips writes, so when I picked this book up I pretty expected to be turned into putty overnight. That so did not happen. I know she has a pattern of having the female lead caught in a tough spot with the whole community against her and the guy lead indifferent at best. Unfortunately, in this case it just seemed way to cruel for me. I don't want to give any plot issues away but Adam's treatment of Daisy was just downright demeaning. What makes it worse is that she took it as if that was all she's worth. It was sad, pathetic and every feminist bone in my body was about ready to jump out and beat the two of them.
