Tempting Bella by Diana Quincy
1.0
I wanted to really like this book. It had an unusual hero, Sebastian, who is morally upright an virtuous (most of the time--see later comment). He has had only one sexual relationship that he ends when forced into an arranged marriage with a 13 year old girl, Bella. He is kind, patient, and romantic when he meets Bella 6 years later.
Like I said, I really wanted to like this book.
BUT.... When Sabastian loses control, he becomes arrogant, cold and cruel. The scene that really disturbed me was when Bella disobeyed him by wearing a totally inappropriate gown to meet his family (which, by the way, they were amused and forgiving about), he threatens to RAPE her! This is a totally unacceptable (and unbelievable) plot twist.
