I had to get this at a library book sale while visiting my friend in Virginia. Just look at that magnificent beast of a cover.
As an old skool romance it has its share of crazysauce. While it was pretty campy and I did enjoy it, it didn’t go full bore crazysauce as a Johanna Lindsey or Virginia Henley.
Unsurprisingly it’s fairly racist (although not as much as I expected - white people do, and are punished for, some horrible things) and has the good old “forced seduction” trope. It was unnecessarily long too; the leads don’t meet (again) for over 100 pages.
The writing wasn’t bad. I’d probably read this author again if I find her books at another book sale.
