Hearts Aflame by Johanna Lindsey

3.0

I've read this story multiple times, as it's a good one: well-written with likable characters. My one problem with the story, though, is that the steamy scenes, while steamy, make me cringe. Truly consensual forced sex is all well and good, but only within a fantasy role-playing scenario, and this story did not contain any such scenarios. So the steamy scenes managed to be both enjoyable and insufferable at the same time. But as it's one of the first romance stories I ever read, it will always remain a part of my collection and I'm sure I'll reread it, cringes and all, again. :)
