This is one of my all time favorite books. I had a mass media copy that was worn out. I purchased this hardcover edition as a keepsake that I can read again.

Olivia and Jai Rebecca Ryman 9780749306717 Books Reviews

What a weird, twisted book. Wow, I can't believe how much I hate this! And yet I still read 300 pages in hopes that I was mistaken, in hopes that Jai wasn't a psychopath and Olivia really did have a brain in her head ...nope

OK, I read my share of misunderstood heroes. But this nut case really takes the cake! Jai is constantly berating, criticizing, scorning and snubbing Olivia and the more abusive he is, the more she swoons over him.

Example(slight spoiler*)

"What I will not accept, Jai, is the devaluation, the denial, of your feelings for me. You lie to hide your own delusions..You fabricate a hate that does not exist. You do love me, jai..."

"Get out!" His voice was tight in his throat.

"I will! But not before you admit you have lied!"

The final thread of his control snapped. With a snarl he sprang at her and two enormous, powerful hands circled her neck. Distorted into a mask of virulence, his features turned maniacal, barely human. Thumbs pressed against her windpipe, he shook her with the fury of a mastiff...

Basically, he strangles her until she passes out.

"Don't love me, Olivia...I could have killed you. What further proof can you want of my worthlessness?"

"It is also proof of what you deny..."

Oh.My.Goodness. So really, the more he hurts you the more he loves you! My husband has never strangled me or screamed at me, I guess he doesn't love me afterall. Wow. Ive been disillusioned for 21 years...

So many people loved this book. And I really wanted to. Oh well.

Bottom line too much melodrama, not enough story. Yes yes yes, I know there's more story to come after page 300, 300 pages in fact! but I. am. so. DONE.

By the way, I guessed the "great whoopsie". *book crashes into wall*

The gavel has fallen. verdict Hero is a jerk. Heroine is TSTL. They deserve eachother. I award them a life of misery together.
My favorite book!! I get lost in it everytime I read it.
What a beautiful and poignant, bittersweet romance.

I fell in love with Olivia and Jai. The history, description and writing drew me right into the author's world.
Yes
It was the best book I ever read.
This book will stay with you for years! An absolute (long) read with non of the fluff and unnecessary sex.
After reading M.M Kaye's The Far Pavillions, and the Shadow of the Moon, I was not only in love with historical India, I was in love with M.M Kaye! You would be hard pressed to find a better historical fiction or romance novel better than the above 2 mentioned novels by M.M Kaye. Being an avid reader of historical fiction, (Those that also include a love story are my true favorite!) I was very disappointed when I found out that those were the only 2 books of that genre that she had written. I quickly began to search for other novels set in British controlled India (Preferably 19th century). Sadly, there aren't a whole lot. Olivia And ai was one of the few that I could find. It's epic, it's got history, it has a romance to die for, the story is very well written, and the romance is not the only thing going on in the book. What else needs to be said? If you liked M.M. Kaye, then you would also like this book!
This is one of my all time favorite books. I had a mass media copy that was worn out. I purchased this hardcover edition as a keepsake that I can read again.
