Serious content warnings on this one. This was a fine romance, I enjoyed it once we got through the rough first third. The domestic violence is portrayed without flinching, which I applaud the author for. But it is a rough read. After that the romance is good, and quite spicy. I thought the ending was a bit much and also didn’t like the way Hardy paid off women his brother hurt? Such a weird detail to put in. 
This book was published in 2008 and some of it is dated, particularly in some of the machismo aspects. Still I’m glad I read it!
