red flags (spoilers)
I started off really enjoying this book.. but it lost me at the end. The male character is a huge red flag… beyond the typical “alpha” male character I enjoy reading about. SPOILERS BELOW.
He can’t control his temper and doesn’t have the emotional capacity to love anyone. That’s the big problem in this book. He doesn’t trust himself around people. He seriously drove into a brick wall and got his significant other killed because he wanted her to stop talking? Like WHAT? The male character tells the heroine he’ll never love her and is incapable of that emotion. So she leaves. We don’t get to read about her making this decision to show back up at the cabin. The ending was so rushed. The heroine basically tells the male character that she accepts he won’t ever love her and she has never known love anyways (because of past experiences with her mom & ex) so it’s all fine… The male character just comes off as a sociopath toward the end. He was a huge red flag. I gave it two stars because I did like the beginning and middle part of the story.
