Absolute shite. We have once again encountered a book where the first 50% maybe was alright, it was barable, are was able to look past some of the faults? But then, oh momma, things got *bad*. This "protagonist" was bad, just really not great. Sure, he didn't do anything reprehensible but he certainly managed to leave a bad taste in my mouth. He was rude, he was mean, I'm pretty sure he was verging on sexist at times too. Y'know, this is a romance, we're meant to be rooting for him and the love interest, but it just didn't make any sense. This man is horrible to her 24/7 and we're meant to overlook it because he "loves her" (aka he's just mega horny for her). Imagine if we weren't reading this from his POV, it'd just be a man mistreating a woman for seemingly no reason. Not to mention that if we ignore that she's his love interest, SHE'S STILL HIS BOSS!! You can't be treating her like that!!
There's so much more I could say about this man but I'll leave it there for today. Other issues included the fact that it didn't feel like there was an actual story going on, it was just one man's thoughts, lusting after some woman. None of the characters really had any personality, they didn't serve any purpose. It often just felt like we were going over the same issue over and over again in a never ending cycle.
Honestly, I just don't think this book was written very well. Y'know, it really had the potential to do something, to deal with some big issues. "Man marries young, he's not a good husband, has to look after his family alone, loses his baby, gets divorced", you can do lots of great things with this, could have pulled on some heartstrings but no, that's not what happened. This was meant to be his crux, he had to overcome this so he could fall in love again. This book would rather focus on how sexy the love interest is than have any depth. We never really saw his struggle, we never felt anything in regards to his issues because they were laid out to us like "this is what happened, now he can't get some, the end". There was no emotion behind.
Anywho, I didn't like this book.
