Query: A very disappointing Sandra Brown book

I was hoping for something romantic and sensual to inspire holiday spirit, and instead got something very vulgar and crude. I couldn't bear the hostile way these two protagonists interacted with each other. They couldn't seem to get along except while having sex. It was obvious that this book was written in 1987, because it lacked the polish Sandra Brown has developed over the years, especially with regard to dialogue, which was horrendously written in this story.
