It soon became clear that he attracted her as much as he had ever done - yet had anything changed, really? For how could Selina ever manage to overcome the terrible fear that had ruined the marriage the first time?

Patton Anderson was from Florida, the seceding state that was referred to as the "tadpole" of the Confederate states, but nevertheless he was one of the Confederacy's great military leaders.
Anderson oversaw a large plantation, Casa Bianca, and his views meshed with secessionist views sufficiently for him to be elected as a delegate to the Secession Conference held in Montgomery, Alabama. Anderson engaged the enemy in the Western theater for four years under his mentor, General Braxton Bragg, who advanced him to Major General in command of the District of Florida. This is a complete biography of Anderson's life, including his service in the Mexican War, his appointment as United States Marshal to the distant Washington Territory, his adventure with his wife, Etta Adair of taking the Washington Territory census by canoe, his election as territorial delegate to Washington City, and his entire Civil War service.
Patton and Etta Anderson's affectionate correspondence is an important aspect of this biography, revealing what it was like to be alive at this time and what it took to keep their family intact. Author : Mark E. Neely, Jr. These images helped sustain and revive Southern identity following the collapse of the Confedera.
When Swann attempts to retrieve vital evidence hidden in Fort Siloso, a bloody gun battle erupts on Sentosa island, and staid, quiet Singapore becomes a raging battlefield. I have a penchant for dominant and ruthless heros eg Judith McNaught, Anne Stuart etc but this guy was just awful. His hatred of the heroine was palpable and the reconciliation at the end was unbelievable. Unremittingly Dreadful.

The Long Obsession would have been a better title. The H is totally obsessed with the heroine. I should give this one star,but it's so over the top I had to raise it up one. I'll address the purple elephant in the room. Yes, as other reviewers have said the hero is a class grade A jackass. He rapes the heroine as well as slaps her, deliberately makes her jealous and all around is an obsessive AH.
I wanted to slap her hal Yikes. I wanted to slap her half way through the book. The book cover says it all. She really is a tease and on more than one occasion enjoys making the hero suffer. Back story: Abused and almost raped by her step-father, she is tried for attempted murder. Both her family life and the trial have damaged her emotionally.
So what does a shy, retiring essentially frigid young girl do? She marries an alpha male with a libido then denies him She really needed a nice starter boyfriend. A beta. The story takes place 3 years after their divorce. Marriage was never consummated as she could not get the gumption to do the deed. Another trope alert.
She cries, she pouts, she stonewalls, she shivers, she tries to commit suicide. The suicide attempt is as much about her trial and the shame than it is about the hero. The trigger was the prosecuting attorney she kinds of had a thing for shows up in their honeymoon.
Honestly, I really did want to slug her at that point as she is such a do-little whiner. She finally has a positive sexual experience and Prince Charming decides it's time to deny her sexually for a change. She doesn't much care for the shoe on the foot. Ah, true love.
They live HEA.

That was certainly a ride. This was definitely a book for those with thick skins who like really really dark h I can't call this guy a hero.
He has to be one of the most manipulative, sociopathic, selfish, cruel, abusive Not only did he not have a reason for his cruelty, it was perpetuated against someone who had sound logical reasons for her behavior towards him and who needed someone wh Okaaay.
Not only did he not have a reason for his cruelty, it was perpetuated against someone who had sound logical reasons for her behavior towards him and who needed someone who was the exact opposite of him. The things he did to her and the revenge he enacted was way over the top. In addition to purposely engaging with another woman just to make her jealous and I think he might have even slept with her , he was verbally, physically and sexually abusive and downright mentally cruel.
Charlotte really pulled out the big guns with this one. I don't see the story of these two ending in a HEA. The h's life is going to be a hellish one with this crazy guy. But you'll see that I gave it 3 stars. That's because I actually like stories that are over the top, loaded with "WTF???? And those we have plenty of.
They just kept coming. I could actually give it 4. So be warned, that this story probably wouldn't appeal to very many and might even offend those who like dark, alpha males.
It's was almost too much for me. View all 5 comments.

So the book arrived at last! An original edition of , with its original cover too!
I love this cover! The woman is very well represented. Selina is a redhead with green eyes and she has that way to look at men, sideway, with her lashes lowered and her head slightly bent on one side, such tantalizing womanly way. I loved the lilac coat, her backcombed hair, the drink, the big flashy ring. The hair of the man the he So the book arrived at last! The hair of the man the hero? Cut in a leonine fashion, it says.
All so very 70s! And that Tiffany lamp! The book is pure madness. If you want to know how a man obsessed thinks you may read this book. The hero marries the heroine but she was unable to have sex with him, she was terrified.
Instead of thinking that she could have been abused he tries to force her, then rages against her, then he threatens her to go to another woman. Only one good piece of advice: to go and see a doctor.
She tries to commit suicide. Then he takes a woman to make her jealous. She send him paper for divorce. After marriage he tells her that her brother told him that their stepfather tried to rape her, she was badly beaten and abused and the man was convicted.
After this trauma what does he do? He tries to be sweet and caring, slowly trying to get her used to his touch and his presence so she will trust him and they will have sex eventually? Maybe he tries to persuade her to go to a counsel or? But of course no! He slaps her and tries to force her when she shyly kisses him because hey, she was teasing him!
No words. The man is the least recommended husband she could have in the world. So, after she was abused by her stepfather when she was 16, her first time is a rape, anyway. How sad is this? It was disturbing. He even threatens that if she kills herself he will follow her. I wish I was able to divide those two once and forever. He was unable to have sex with ow when they were separated and he had her followed stalked for all the time they were apart. He had his bedroom full of pictures of her.
Jeez what a creep. He was resentful because she refused him the first time instead of trying to understand that she suffered from PTSD! He told her that she wanted to punish all the male sex, and he wanted her to make her pay!
So, after being abused and traumatized, she has to suffer again! But man, how stupid a hero can be??? The woman is unable to choose one man, I tell you that! They will never make it! Who will die first? I suppose she will throw herself under a train, and he will shoot himself, or maybe he will throttle her and then will be convicted with a life sentence and die in jail.

He rapes her and she has a lot of sexual issues here and then if that's not bad enough she suffers through the whole he is f ing around with other girls to get his sexual ego back! This is the worst piece of shit I have ever read.
To top it all she had to make it up to him after all he did to her!!!! It's way more ugly then I have written here but since another review wrote it be Ok I am reviewing this book again I confused this story with another.
It's way more ugly then I have written here but since another review wrote it better I would just like people to avoid this story! It will haunt you! Don't do it! Dec 29, Persephone Zahariou rated it really liked it. I like this author. The hero is insane, the heroine is just as bad. Unlike most other authors that keep their heroines nice or justify their behaviour this author has some genuinely horrible heroines.
Yes, yes, the hero has a load of issues you can read about them in other reviews but the heroine She's that asshole usually male with the tragic past that expects you to take shit from her, while not explaining wtf is her problem in the first place.
She's a tease, seri I like this author. She's a tease, seriously disturbed and a bitch. You may be upset at the hero for calling her a bitch repeatedly, but taking a step back Ah, and the big drama? It happened 10 years ago. And this trainwreck hasn't sorted her issues, got therapy, moved on They're not Mary Sues.
They're as bad as the heroes. They have no excuse. Equality baby! Jan 10, Debby rated it it was amazing. This book is so, so vintage Charlotte Lamb.
Intense, full of passion and chemistry. The H in this book is a smitten, obsessed, jealous, cruel, passionate H. She has an abusive past which made her shy away from sex. That made him crazy. Charlotte Lamb is such an outstanding, amazi This book is so, so vintage Charlotte Lamb. Charlotte Lamb is such an outstanding, amazing HP writer. Some of her old, vintage HP books belong to my favourite books and I have kept them for re-reading in the future.
This book is no exception. Charlotte Lamb has a way with words. Her HP writing style is exceptional. He tells her that he is her prisoner. His hunger for her, I believe it.
I was with them the whole time and when the trigger was pulled i actually cringed when Alex was making her his in any means possible and letting NOTHING and NO ONE stop him there is a revealing event in this story that made me break apart.
That man was Overall a incredible keeper that deserves the 5 Loving stars i gave it. The dynamic and dark.. Books for People with Print Disabilities. Internet Archive Books.
