A review by squirrelfish
Dark Gold by Christine Feehan
2.0
Just reread a little bit of this. The whole premise of this series is a lot of controlling men, but this is a bit too much.
SPOILERS
Forced conversion, kidnapping, brainwashing, using a younger sibling/child as a hostage, 'man of the house' stylings on the part of a 6 year old.... it just went way too far with the weak woman stylings. I had to set it aside, and I don't know if I'll be able to pick up another book of this series ever again. Some of her series have some pretty strong, kick-ass heroines, but in this one I see no way to redeem the male character. I don't remember the rest of the series, but if this were the first Feehan I'd read, this would be the last I'd read.
