Query: Predictable and frustrating

I had read The Elusive Flame first and then this book and I agree with a lot of other readers. The villans were portrayed as ugly, and the main characters only seemed to love each other for their looks. brandon was not nice and i cannot see how Heather fell in love with him, however, abused people usually do fall in love with people that will or do abuse them - no offense to anyone.The murder plot at the end of the book came too late also and after reading this book, the sequel The Elusive Flame was exactly the same, apart from without the rape scene. What's with the possessiveness also?? I really loved the Elusive Flame and Shanna, a Rose in Winter was good, Petals on the River not good at all and i'm now reading Wolf and the Dove which is turning out to really captivate me.
