I didn’t get this one AT ALL. H and h married in lust haste only to repent in leisure. It seems H was a total cad, going out of his way to put his refined, “fragile flower” wife into uncouth situations just to get a rise out of her. Very passive-aggressive way to rattle her and make her suffer, all under the guise of expanding her horizons. The shit finally hit the fan when he took her to a dog fight. She bought four of the dogs with all the money she had on her and left with them, then left her disgusting husband, who chose to remain at the fight, the next morning.
Instead of apologizing and eating some humble pie, hero sent her divorce papers, hoping it would bring her groveling back to him. She signed the papers immedately then ghosted him for seven months. The hero now is getting hit on by his barracuda boss and desperately wants a reconciliation with his wife. I had to listen to every single whine, deflective, victim-mentality, mysoginistic crap thought that came out of his fried brains and garbage mouth for the entirety of the book, before the heroine inevitably, inexplicably, took him back. Not to mention the little nugget thrown in towards the end that he also cheated on her during their courtship as his last bit for independence. VOMIT-INDUCING.
Author took the wrong fork in the road in this one. She should have left this zero hero behind as an OM after the divorce and found a real worthy hero to center her romance around. Preferably a vet who rescues fight dogs by serial killing the people who organize them and the people who like to watch them.
Not that the heroine was great either. Apart from her rescue of the dogs, she was aloof and unlikable. This is very unlike this author’s other book that I have read, which was very coherent and endearing.

I just read it again and it just sucked. I mean the whole thing was hard to follow and I just couldn't keep up with what happened or was happening. Just really confusing. Would never read again. Deleted from my Kindle.

Very strange, my first and probably last Lass Small—the writing style was painfully choppy. Told completely from his POV. The blurb says he’s a hothead, he’s a freaking moron, who thinks filing for divorce would be a good way to get his wife to come crawling back to him... huh, it didn’t work, she signed the papers. But then she’s equally stupid, she takes him back. Dumb and dumber.
Part of the “How bad can it be?” tour.

Who the heck wrote this book? Surely not the woman who wrote Stolen Day. That was an odd one, but charming.
I got to page 10 of this before I gave up and skimmed the rest. It's barely even a book - more the rambling monologue of a Forrest-Gump-like-character with a host of mental problems. Tyler is clingy, deluded and appears incapable of either empathising with other people, or seeing the world as it truly is. A psychologist would have a field day with this guy.
The writing style is fairly atrocious too - it reads like it was written by a 6 or 7-year-old who doesn't speak very good English.
I enjoyed the other book of Lass Small's that I've read, and can only assume that this was written by someone else, perhaps as a joke. Utterly hideous. 1 star.

He might be an ornery son of a gun, but never let it be said Tyler Fuller didn't love his wife. Well, ex-wife, since he'd presented her with an ultimatum she'd shockingly accepted. Now this hotheaded hubby was darned tired of spending the long, cold nights alone, so he vowed to win her back!
His mission should have been as simple as the first time he'd convinced Kayla to say "I do." After all, they'd jumped right from the bedroom and marched straight down the wedding aisle. But Tyler was gonna have to learn a few things about his self-improved former bride. Like how Kayla wanted to take things slow…and just how good slow could be!
