Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-01 00:00:00 Robert Tachna Heroine came on to her brother�s friend (hero) when she was 16. Hero was horrified he was attracted to an underage girl and her treated her with contempt for the next ten years. To complicate matters, the heroine�s brother died in a drunk driving accident and the heroine insisted everyone in the community (including her parents) think it was her fault. Hero was also in the car and kept her secret. This twisted logic was to protect her parent�s image of their golden boy. Heroine had to leave town for NYC where she was lonely for ten years and finally had sex one time with a sleazy investment banker. She ended up pregnant and he finally told her was married with two kids. Pregnant heroine returns home while her parents are on a cruise and has to ask the hero for a key to their Napa Valley farmhouse. Hero, who owns land next door and is part of a prosperous Italian family wine-making enterprise, won�t give it to her because there had been break ins. He insists she stay with him while consulting with her clients. (She is a landscaper � based in NYC � ok) Heroine�s pregnancy eventually is revealed. Hero swoops in to marry her and to adopt her unborn child etc. . . He sounds like a great guy on paper � but he was an ass throughout the entire story. JP hadn�t got the hang of writing a wounded alpha who feels betrayed that his innocent love isn�t so innocent and it�s probably his fault. JP tries to give that impression � but this hero slut-shamed too much and didn�t show enough vulnerability/regret � especially in his role of having the heroine run out of town and out of her own family because of his secrets. Heroine was deeply annoying. She screeched and said things she didn�t mean and was generally an idiot all around. I suppose they are meant for each other.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-18 00:00:00 James Gallagher Yeah that was just plain not good. I can get behind a mean hero but only if he has some reason for it and the author has set it up well and rationally. Here not so much. This guy was a misogynistic asshole. He humiliated and insulted her over and over. Like somehow it was her fault that some sleazy guy and lied to her that he wasn't married and knocked her up and then demanded she get an abortion. He made it all her fault and belittled her for it.
