Product Description
Sweet Savage Love is about a naive girl full of romantic fancies who confronts the more lurid realities of life and love. Ginny is caught in more situations than some readers might find easy to swallow. There is also an element of forced seduction involving Ginny and Steve Morgan that readers might find offensive. However, there is a deep, unrecognized attraction between the hero and heroine that is not present in Ginny's other encounters. It is not mature love at first. However, most love takes time to grow. The novel is set in the background of the American Southwest and in Mexico during the rebellion against the Emperor Maximillian. The reader gets a small taste of history and the feel for the injustices and turmoil which resulted in this war. However, this is primarily a romance novel to entertain. Steve and Ginny both go through a lot but this does occur during a tumultous (sp?) time in history. Ginny's morals or lack thereof may sour some readers but she is the product of her upbringing and her experiences. Steve Morgans liasons with women are also not high up on the moral ladder but he is the typical male with double standards of whom there are plenty today. Sweet Savage Love is a novel to be enjoyed and not to be analyzed too seriously. Another good Rosemary Rogers novels which is completely separate from Steve and Ginny is The Wildest Heart. This second novel is not quite a dramatic as Sweet Savage Love
