Query: Independent Schmindependent

Linda Howard is one of my favorite authors, so I bought this book in spite of the bad reviews. While an interesting comment on what was selling in the romance genre in the early 1980's, this book screamed the message JEALOUSY IS NOT LOVE (without meaning to, I'm sure).The fact that the hero is controlling, jealous and manipulative, and the fact that the heroine thinks this was normal and loving, illustrate the need for intense therapy for both parties -- not a continuation of the "romance".I also wanted the heroine to BE independent, get a spine, leave this jerk in the dust, and get a restraining order against him.A book on abnormal behavior? Maybe. A romance? No way.I truly wish Ms. Howard had re-worked this book, not just re-published it, as it cheapens her considerable talent.
