Aggravating. - ** Grade: B- **

If anything, PASSION'S SWEET REVENGE is an upsetting read. It is the story of two people who passionately love each other in bed and profoundly hate each other when out. Yes, PASSION'S SWEET REVENGE is a frustrating and annoying read, yet it is a page turner. In 1863, Mary Catherine McCleary (Katy) is a southern belle with firm roots to the Confederacy. In 1863, Katy is only thirteen, but the ugliness of war and a loathsome stepfather have stripped away her childhood innocence. Logan Marshall is the son of a wealthy, powerful family from New York City. He is very handsome, very young, and to Katy McCleary he is her champion! But Logan Marshall is from the north and the Civil War rages. As a solid, southern daughter, Katy unwillingly sells Logan out and her trickery delivers him to Andersonville and to hell! In 1872, Mary Catherine McCleary is the famous stage actress -- Katy Dakota. Logan Marshall is the publisher of a powerful newspaper - the New York Chronicle. Katy and Logan meet again. The years have passed, but nothing is forgotten, and revenge can be so sweet. Yes, PASSION'S SWEET REVENGE is a page turner, yet it is a frustrating read. The frustration is felt when the lovers' foolishness takes over, AND when Katy refuses to discuss the villain and his outrageous blackmail, AND when Katy's fortitude jumps from hot to cold, cold to hot, and from . . . Yes, Jo Goodman does write a frustrating read, yet she writes a commanding story. This author's words flow with smoothness and clarity. She does not bog her reader down with unnecessary material, instead she allows her reader to experience a free and unclogged FRUSTRATING trip to the end. Yes, this is a page turner, but presentation problems impede the turning of those pages. Grade: B- Reviewer for: www.romancedesigns.com

Great Book

I thought this book was really intense and very passionate. This is not a fluff book. It has alot of intense emotions and lots of passion. The book is about an actress named Katy Dakota, who years ago, betrayed the man she loved and sent him to prison. He comes back and is intent on seducing her to get back at her for what she did. This is a great read.
