**Review based off of an ARC received from www.netgalley.com

Unfortunately this attempt of an erotic romance in a tropical island paradise left me pretty cold. The success of similar stories, i.e. 50 Shades of Grey, is based on a controlling man who uses sexual domination, but also respects a woman's right to say no, and offer an out (or safe word). Well, the main character in this novel actually denies his partner a safe word and does not listen when she tries to stop him, but OF COURSE she really does like it. Everything is hunky dory. Clayton, the male lead, exhibits all the aspects of a classic abuser: jealousy, rage, hitting, and control. Instead of feeling sexy, this book made me feel like I should report a crime.

This is my problem with this book in a nutshell: "But behind the anger, behind the insane jealousy and possessiveness, behind it all, I know it's because he cares." PUH-LEASE.
