I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this book, but I didn't think it was that bad. I really hate SEP books that rely on the heroine being totally humiliated, and while Annie was down, she wasn't out. The hero was more problematic - SEP's attempt to modernize a traditional Gothic hero didn't really work and he came across as too creepy at first and then too glib by the end. Lots of witty dialogue made up for some of the weaknesses. All in all, much better than the horrid hero of SEP's last novel, The Great Escape. I'll take troubled over A-hole any day.
SEP has long since passed her glory days but her books are still worth a library read.
