I had to write this review to try to warn people away from this book. I wish I could forget some of the awful things I read in it. 
 (view spoiler)[ The worst part for me was the very detailed gang rape of the heroine. The hero did rescue her, but proceeded to sew her perineum back up and bide his time to wait until he was healed enough so that he could rape her, since he loved her so much that he'd be gentle with her. 
 Of course all this happened after he initially kidnapped her and raped her. 
 Then toward the end the heroine actually marries (or almost marries? She's living with him and sleeping with him) another man who is actually nice to her, only to return to the "hero" for no reason I could possibly understand. (hide spoiler)] 
 I have never disliked a book as much as this one.
