Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-03 00:00:00 Tom Lang I have been trying to write reviews for all of the Diana Pamer books I've read so I can make sure not to accidentally re-read them. I almost did that with Rodrigo, which is the new name of Fearless. However, the review I wrote for Rodrigo replaced the healing epilogue I wrote for Fearless, so now I must redo it. DAMN YOU, GOODREADS! This H is one of the two worst Diana Palmer heroes of all time, alongside the dreamboat who is the H of Heartbreaker. Without further ado, I shall proceed to the HE (healing epilogue, NOT happy ending). Our story begins when the h, who is married to the H, is in the hospital having a miscarriage along with other health problems. The H is loudly trying to get into the h's room so he can taunt her about the divorce and serve papers. Everyone is outraged, and the story is overheard by a local society gossip columnist who has come to visit a friend in the same ward as the h. The columnist is horrified by the H's cruelty and writes a thinly-veiled blind item about the H demanding a divorce while his wife hovered near death. The column does everything but provide a map to the the H's house. Now exposed, the H is no longer effective as a secret agent and is forced to retire. He devotes himself to petulant womanizing and tries to engineer confrontations with the h so she can see that he has moved on. He is unsuccessful because she heads to a meditative retreat and doesn't tell anyone in town where she is, because she has observed that no one is able to keep a woman's location secret when confronted by an abusive man looking for his traumatized partner. After a month recovering, she files a lawsuit against the H for his role in her miscarriage. In a precedent-setting move that strikes absolute terror into the hearts of all of the town's H's, it is ruled that depraved and calculated cruelty that results indirectly in physical or profound psychological damage to the recipient is a form of aggravated assault. The H is found guilty and sent to jail for 18 months. The h writes a bestselling book on recovering from toxic relationships, which the H reads in prison and is disappointed he isn't identifiable in the book. This is because the h is truly healed and doesn't feel the need to give this sadist any head- or book- space. The h also wins a large financial settlement, which she uses to fund a local branch of the Institute for Realistic Interpretation of Romantic Interactions, an organization that educates women who have been victimized by brutal men who "love" them. After the trial, she is approached by the OW, who wants to be friends. The h gently observes that the OW doesn't understand what being a friend to another woman and suggests that the OW spend some time there. The OW ends up leaving her husband, who had been abusive to her in their book. Now independently wealthy and with the poisonous H out of her way, the h retires from the law and decides to address her physical conditions, and by finding competent non-local surgeons and doctors, she's able to manage and significantly diminish their impact. As the final part of the process, she signs up for physical therapy, where her trainer is a former Olympic decathlete, a brawny 6' 5" paragon of physical perfection. He is initially intimidating to her, but she realizes soon that he is a gentle giant (except in bed, where he is a beast, because seriously), and they fall in love. They marry and eventually go on to have several biological children and adopt several special needs children, all of whom they love equally and treat fairly. The H finally reappears as a guest at a banquet in honor of the h and her husband, who together have done a lot of philanthropic work. He brings a date, the woman he taunted the h with (aka paella woman) prior to her miscarriage. He tries to get the h to talk to him, but she is too busy talking to people who legitimately matter to her. She does run into paella woman, who is a shell of her former self, in the restroom and gently gives her a card entitling her to a free brainwashing at the Institute. For the rest of the evening, the sulky H sits at a table far from the guests of honor. While he is at the table, he overhears two of the other guests, dear friends of the h, joking about how the h and Olympic Hubby are still at the honeymoon phase even after years together, and how the h mentioned that she had never truly known what love and pleasure were until she married her husband. One of them also says that during a girls' night out, she persuaded a very tipsy h to admit that her hulking Olympic Hubby is perfectly proportional in all ways. This destroys the last of the H's false confidence and he stomps out, dragging his date with him. Two weeks later he is dead. The h comes out of retirement to defend paella woman, who is found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-19 00:00:00 Seyed Ehsaei Why did I read this??? I hate cheaters and cruel heroes but did I still put myself through this? Yes I did. I kept hoping that the woman at his place was the housekeeper and that the H was going to say he had to say those things because of a sting operation but no! He gives no e excuses and doesn't explain the woman at his house and she says I love him. Omg. I forgot about Diane Palmer loving cheaters. And the emotional cheating was way worse and then to deliver the divorce papers to her when she was in the hospital after losing their baby. Nothing about this book made it worthwhile. Horrible horrible story. I wish I could bleach my mind.
