I was looking for this in a way. I wanted an old school, high drama romance with a truly slick, borderline devilish Alpha hero. Kind of tired of these perfect beta, politically correct heroes and their sickly sweet romances for the self-insert, comfort reading crowd. But as is par for the course with these old books, the heroine is a TSTL teenager and gets into too many dumb situations for me to enjoy this. I could've maybe gritted my teeth through one dumb decision, but she made multiple and I couldn't take it anymore.

Not for me.

Had actually read this one years ago, but as I was getting ready to list it on bookmooch I realized I didn't remember it at all so have picked it up again. My cover is a bit different but I can't seem to find my edition.

Interesting. Seems I forgot this once before. This had been stored and just before making it available for trade I thought I'd read it again. I remembered having read it, but not what actually happened. Julianna is pretty irritating with her insistance on having her own way- more pigheaded than independent really - bit of a miracle she comes out of it all as well as she does.
