Sybil’s Review of A Woman’s Heart by Rosalyn West
Historical Romance by Avon Apr 97

Nothing says romance like gang rape…

Really that isn’t fair because there is a lot more to the book than the rape(s) but that is what comes to mind when I think of this book now.

Eliza Parrish earned her hea. After her daddy dies, her fiance’s father, Justin Montgomery, (father’s partner) and now controls Eliza’s life and boy does he fuck with her. Instead of becoming the wife of William Montgomery she becomes their bond servant. And that is early in the book and about where Mz West starts to lose me and I become all about the skim.

Her life sucks. Jean-Luc Gautier aka pirate Coeur Noir takes over their ship and steals Philomena Montgomery away. Sweetness and light that Philomena is, she throws Eliza to the sharks and tells her to say she is Philomena.

slave to rich snotty used to be daddy partners family…. slave to hunky sweaty pirate who makes your loins melt…

you do the math

Luc thinks he is ransoming Philomena and while he is doing that he falls in love. She waits way way too long to tell him she isn’t really Philomena.

If the book gets thrown at you, skim it. It is well done in parts and sucks ass in others. I wouldn’t go tracking it down.
