Summary: Interesting, BUT . . . . . .
Review: Wealthy sea captain Marc Aragon rescued Genevieve Le Sage as she was climbing out the window of a brothel. She had lost her memory and didn't even know who she was, but she was sure she wasn't a whore. While Marc was sympathetic to her plight, he felt it was his due to be repaid for his help in finding out about her past by becoming his mistress.I disliked the attitudes and actions of Ms. Conn's characters. I really didn't like it when both Marc and Genevieve always kept adding 2 and 2 and getting 6! They kept on jumping to the worst conclusions and then suffered through 'tormenting agonies' because they didn't immediately discuss their problems. They don't communicate very well either: Marc EXPECTS Genevieve TO KNOW that certain actions of hers hurt his pride/feelings and made him angry; on the other hand, Genevieve can't see that Marc's actions are petty and childish. Also, I find it TOTALLY DISGUSTING that the hero actually SULKS(and not in a cute way, at that) whenever things don't go his way. He acts more like a spoiled brat! Another point of contention is that we are talking about Californio families here which means that they're Catholic. Therefore, divorce, even in the gold rush era, is a definite no-no for Catholics!
