I just read them for fun. Next time I read one I am going to see what bothers me about it. Second Mark was good in the smexy scenes because then he wasn't talking about how ugly she had become? Excuse me? He told her she was ugly? Huh? Scars make the heros more ruggedly handsome or give their face character. He told her she was ugly?<br />Please tell me ain't so!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-52810728313001857882013-03-18T19:33:12.995-06:002013-03-18T19:33:12.995-06:00Sounds like the lass had a stalker, I guess even t...Sounds like the lass had a stalker, I guess even then they had men who felt scorned and killed woman so no one else could have them.
