Rating:  Summary: Too much violence against women. Review: I've enjoyed many of Catherine Coulter's books, but this is not one of them. This book was filled with chapter after chapter of debasing thoughts of chauvinistic men. The whole story seemed to revolve around how many times you can insult and humiliate the women, including the heroine.

Rating:  Summary: Review of 'Impulse' Review: Normally, I enjoy Catherine Coulter's books very much - up until I read this book I believed I could buy any of her books without being concerned about if I would like it. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to her prior novels.The plot line was imaginative and should have been exciting - I am usually unable to put one of her books down and I finish it in a couple of days - this book took me more than two weeks to get through. The characters were flat and even by the end of the book I really didn't care what happened to them. Definitely not the reaction she was going for during the final chapters! Overall, I would have to say that I really did not like this book. My recommendation would be to purchase any one of her other novels.

Rating:  Summary: porn Review: This book is boring, stupid and borderline porn. Catherine Coulter needs to hang it up.
Rating:  Summary: porn Review: While I have to admit the plot is more than interesting, everything else [stunk]. There are too many things that bothered me about this. First of all, when did the hero and heroine decide they loved each other; when he took her on the lawn or when he took her in the pool knowing what others would think when they found her panties? I understand the bad men being so aweful, but if he is supposed to be the good guy, how could he treat her just like they do? What the hell does she see in him anyways, ever? So what, he is great in bed. I guess it's up to us to assume they had qualities worth loving other than sex. Second, when and how did Rafeal's mother and Cocoa meet? How did they correspond without Mr. Meannie finding out? I don't think that was ever mentioned. I feel like I never got to know the characters, except for a little bit of history. This thing only deserves one star because the plot was good and interesting. Other than that, I didn't like it.
