An Old Enchantment (Harlequin Presents, No 1677)

Rating:
Summary: Not Very Enchanting
Review: A long time ago Maxi ran off with her younger sister Fliss's fiancé Colin, because Colin was using Fliss to get at Maxi, only pretending to be in love with Fliss. Maxi knows Colin for what he is, a horred man who takes drugs and is abusive. Rather than let her sister, who comes off dumb as a post, marry this no good rotten bastard, Maxi goes off with him and lets him abuse her, till she finally gets the goods on him and sends him off to jail.

Now she's come home. Fliss has a new fiancé and remember I said she was dumb as a post. She's hates Maxi and to put her the poor little girl at ease, you know, so she won't be afraid Maxi's not after her new lover, this guy named Kerr, who has secretly been in love with Maxi, makes her pretend to be his lover. He treats Maxi like dirt. No, worse than dirt and Maxi takes it. Then Colin gets out of prison and wants revenge and I guess I'll stop here. You get the picture.

This is a story short on suspense and in my opinion not very romantic. However if you're the kind of a girl who likes her men rough, then this book just might be for you.
