What an angst fest. I liked this one. Thanks for sending it my way Willaful. One of the things I enjoyed was the way that the author succeeded in portraying the hero's thoughts and feelings even though the entire story was told from the heroine's POV. For those who have a hot button on the issue, the story does revolve around the hero having raped the heroine 3 years ago. They were married at the time. He was in a jealous rage yada, yada. Well technically they are still married just having been separated for the last 3 years. boy did the author ever show you through his winces and paling/loss of color, and half stifled sentences that he was anguished/regretful over it.

Two minor things I didn't like were that he hadn't been missing her and plotting to get her back. She just happens to be on a highjacked plane and all the sudden he thinks 'Damn, maybe I'd like to get back with her.' If he hadn't been wanting her back why hadn't he divorced her?

Another small thing was that she gets up and leaves her newborn in the hospital to go running after the hero to resolve things with him. First of all, WTF? Who would do that? What hospital would let you? And even in 1983 they weren't expecting/letting you hang around for a week in the hospital after a normal non C section birth. She should have just packed the kid up and taken her with her. ( )
