A review by katiev
Against the Rules by Linda Howard
3.0
3-3.5.
I did like it. I liked the first half most. Toward the last it did seem to drag a bit with the same ground being covered over and over. Basically the entire plot was the heroine's struggle to decide if the H really wanted her for her or wanted total control of the ranch she owned (he was the foreman). Not a lot else to hold it together. Could have cut 50 pages IMHO.
This is one of those old school, early '80's LH titles that feature a super bossy alpha, so be aware. He wasn't a bad guy, but he was very pushy and determined to get his way. It's fun in that old school way that some of us enjoy.
Warning: The h lost her virginity to the late 20's hero when she was only 17. It was never very well explained, but sounds like it started out as a fight and ended in sex. The h remembers it as a pleasurable encounter and never accuses the H of force, but it's still shady. The h was so freaked by the intensity of the experience that she left immediately for college and came home rarely in the next 8 years, even marrying another man who had passed of illness when the book began.
