A DARK TALE OF HEALING PASSION BETWEEN 2 TORTURED SOULS.....

Good grief, can't believe I'm the 1st reviewer here. U wouldn't wanna miss this spectacular novel, if U know what's good for you. Ms Goodman's great writing talent is shown to the fullest this time. This book has one of the best premises & plot-driven stories I've ever read in a historical. 447 pages - and small fonts, mind U - filled with fantastic, sharp banter between Christian & Jenny consumed my attention 'till 5 AM. Some of the bone-chilling, disturbing scenes are mercilessly depicted. But, the sizzling platter of love-scenes & rich secondary characters are compensation enough. Christian is a bitter, restless war hero & reluctant heir to the newspaper tycoon. Jenny is the mysterious, striking beauty whom he saved from nightmarish stay at a mental hospital. Her presence is the turning point of his wretched life. I love it when Christian finally came to his senses & admitted that He loved her & asked her to marry him. What a nice change from the usual arrogant-know-all-to-the-end heroes. I never thought photography could be that interesting 'till I read this masterpiece. Jenny is very smart for her sex - too smart perhaps, 'cuz that was what landed her in the mental institution in the 1st place thanks to her evil stepfather & brother - but vulnerable too. Whenever the 2 of 'em are thrown together, the sprinkler system is in danger to go off. Simply an all-around terrific writing from the consistently high-quality novelist that'll churn your gut & I don't mean puking.....
