Eve was manipulative, self-centered, spoiled, immature, and had absolutely no compassion for any other human being. And those were her GOOD qualities! She crawled all over every man she met and then wondered why Ethan had such a low opinion of her. Gee, can't imagine! In all fairness though, as much I liked Ethan, he had to be kind of out there to want this woman!It's a good thing I didn't read this book right after I'd eaten or I doubt the food would have stayed down!I can however highly recommend "The Sheik's Chosen Wife" and "The Arabian Love Child". They were the reason I got this book and they were both very good!
