Stunningly awful. I kept expecting the hero and heroine to learn to speak something other than caveman. Their conversations were the most stilted agonizing irritating dialogue I have ever read. I suppose she was going for a silent dark machismo with Kincaid but Jamie couldn't articulate a sentence or a thought. Even when his personality changed dramatically for no real reason he still was stiff and unsympathetic although no longer dark and brooding. I was shocked to find this on people's romance list. The characters were shallow and the story predictable. The sex scenes needed work as well. Ugh.
