A fun read. Liz and Raakosh are both lovely grumpy hunters. Turns out they don’t belong in polite barbarian society. Terrific, sexy time waster!

Quotes by Carolyn Whitzman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The National Council of Women in Canada was appalled by these judicial attitudes. It pointed out, before and after the Seduction Act, that "false charges of this kind ae of very rare occurrence." In fact, the obverse was true. It was almost impossible to get a woman to press charges of seduction or rape because her sexual background would then be put under scrutiny.”
Carolyn Whitzman, Clara at the Door with a Revolver: The Scandalous Black Suspect, the Exemplary White Son, and the Murder that Shocked Toronto

“You may not be able to change the world, but at least you can embarrass the guilty.”
Jessica Mitford

“Dr. Ian Malcolm, "God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Man, man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs"
