Robin Schone has a knack for writing about unusual heroes and heroines involved in unusual situations, both personal and romantic. And this, the last of The Men and Women's Club series, is no exception.

But as Cry for Passion went on, the unusual aspects of Jack's and Rose's lives served less to invest me in their emotions, fears, and cares and more to distance me from them. While they possessed distinct personalities and hopes and needs at the beginning of the book, all ripe with potential, by the end they seemed mere actors on the stage of England's historical battle for women's and wives' rights.

Not that such a history isn't important or interesting, but the plot and characters were so caught up in legal machinations that the romance show more and the connection between the hero and heroine fell by the wayside. I finished the book feeling as if I understood the English legal system under Queen Victoria's rule far better than why the hero and heroine belonged together. show less
I just could not get into this book. Action was very slow and dialog didn't sound realistic. I struggled through 140 pages then gave up.
Jack Lodoun sacrifico el amor por el poder para alcanzar la cumbre de su carrera. Una tragedia personal le ha ensenado la dolorosa imposibilidad de conseguir un divorcio. La notoriedad publica arruinara no solo la reputación de Rose, sino también la suya. Sin embargo, con puede negarse a sus necesidades. Aunque antes de aceptar hacerse cargo del caso, Jack le reta a Rose a probar que existe una pasión que reemplaza a las promesas y la ambición.
Y así, encuentro tras encuentro, roce tras roce, la pareja se embarca en un viaje de descubrimientos que lleva a intimidades que ninguno podría haber imaginado: un sexo que no conoce pecado, un amor que no tiene limitaciones, un lazo carnal que cura el dolor y la culpa. Juntos, Rose y Jack show more exploraran el placer máximo, pero que deben sacrificar para reclamar la pasión que tan desesperadamente desean? show less
