About this listen

Dear Listener,

You met Alec Carrick in Night Fire. He returns full force - and believe me, this man’s got force - in Night Storm, the third novel of the Night Trilogy, which I wrote in the Fall of 1988.

The Paxtons are shipbuilders in Baltimore. Alec Carrick is an English nobleman who wants to buy them out. Genny Paxton isn’t at all what she seems. She dresses like “Eugene” and wants to build her own sailing ships without male interference. Alec, a man of great insight, knows exactly what lies beneath those britches. He gets Genny’s goat more times than she can count.

This is a love story filled with wit, humor, and outrageous circumstance. It’s got more unexpected spins than a roulette wheel. Then there’s five-year-old Hallie, Alec’s daughter, a charmer who will take hold of your heart and never let go.

Do enjoy Alec and Genny - and let me know which of the novels in the Night Trilogy you like best.
—Catherine Coulter

Absolutely atrocious & rape trigger warning

This was an incredibly stupid stupid book.Huge disappointment from who I have thought to be an amazing author.I don’t know if its because its actually awful or if its because of the way it was read, but I suspect its a little of both. My gosh, they talked to each other like toddlers!! Hated it.

Also, I am not one who complains about “rape” scenes in books. A lot of times its a matter of perception as to whether the scene was actually rape or not. I sure know I’ve said no to my husband all the while hoping he’d keep going and sometimes stories seem to be written to me in that way, where others view it as rape. So I tend to reserve judgement on that when I see it in a review. But this. This was flat out rape. Blatant, overpowering, controlling, very clearly ignoring an incredibly clear NO…. It actually disgusted me.

And the whole book was just them back and forth. Neither character seemed to have a consistent personality. (Spoiler warning) We spend nearly the entire book with Alec being verbally and physically abusive and then in the last 10 minutes he realizes that he’s been a jerk and changes right there? Ok.

The story had potential, its plot wasn’t bad. But it was read in such a way that even though I’ve listened to Anne Flosnik before, it makes me want to avoid her. In this story, in addition to an absolutely awful rendition, her voices often ran together so you didn’t know who was talking.

I’m not sure why, but I accidentally read book 2 first, then this one, and I have book 1 still to read. The second book was questionable on the rape events, whereas this one was flat out rape. I’m hoping the first one avoids it all together. Im not in a rush to read it though. It’s going to be a while before I read CC or listen to AF again.

I paid $2.55 for this and it was not even worth that. I very rarely do this but I suggest you pass on this one.

When a woman says no

I couldn't finish the story. When a woman continually says no but the man undresses her, ties her up and keeps going - it's rape. Gah!

Vile! Romanticizes Rape!

I've read most of Coulter's books, several of which push the line, but this one is absolutely appalling! First, the "heroine" starts out as a bright, competent young woman, but after she meets the "hero" disintegrates into a gibbering idiot doing things that smack of junior high.

The "hero," although painted as a loving father of a 5-year-old-daughter, is shown more and more as a chauvinistic misogynist, who seems to think that it's okay to tie up this silly woman naked and perform cunnilingus on her while promising not to take her virginity. The fact that her body responds to his actions, while she is begging him to stop, appears to make it romantic and sexy and perfectly acceptable. He spends every encounter with her denigrating her, insulting her, bullying her, promising one thing, then reneging, all under the guise of "teasing."

Then to make this a story with a happy ending and these two people having a happily ever after is the worst kind of travesty that teaches both women and men that this sort of behavior is the path to enduring love. Unbelievable!

This is exactly the type of behavior that justifies sexual harassment, spousal abuse, rape, and all crimes against women. For a reputable author of terrific romance stories to publish and support such filth is beyond belief. Women have enough of a problem with maintaining personal self worth, confidence, and even safety to have to such abuse fed to them as romantic!

I will never buy another Catherine Coulter book after this!

Oh, yes, and the narrator's American accents are awful. Characters' voices change and get mixed up so that females sound like the males and vice versa.
