Aaron's Patience by Tiffany Patterson
DID NOT FINISH: 26%

DNF. Long rant ahead. Contains spoilers.

First of all, I can't with the writing style. It had so many grammar mistakes (I hate to be the grammar police but this is a published book for Pete's sake) and inconsistencies (like Ms. Shirley was sometimes called Ms. Ryan). The over the top descriptions like the sepia eyes and the cinnamon or walnut colored skin (wtf) made me cringe, and the timeline of events were all over the place it gave me whiplash.

Second, and this is important. Aaron is a piece of shit. He missed 5 years of his children's lives because of a "fiance" that he never told Patience about but when he learned the truth, he threw a temper tantrum, blamed Patience for not telling him when he knows whose fault it really is, then proceeded to blackmail her into marrying him or else he'll take the children away from her like the fucker he is. They got married like he wanted and then he's all deciding and implementing things on his own for Patience and the twins when he hasn't even earned the right, damn him.

Oh and even before all of that, he assaulted Patience when they saw each other at a sex club that Patience was forced to attend because he got jealous because another man was talking to her, dragged her to an empty room then raped her because "you're MINE". Who the fuck said so, dude? You? With that attitude?

Seriously, Aaron is such a red flag. I couldn't stomach his toxicity. I feel so bad for Patience though. She sacrificed years rearing her children on her own before this lump of a man came barging in and demanding everyone bend on his will. Dude doesn't even grovel let alone apologize for his wrong doings it's like he only sees himself. So selfish, so infuriating. 

Finally, Patience had no backbone whatsoever. She just let Aaron trample all over her, doesn't make him grovel and forgives him with just a flick of a hand. Girl, no amount of horny will make me forgive Aaron Townsend's shit. He will not be touching me after everything he'd done.

The concept had so much potential. I love secret baby tropes but this ain't it for me. I know I'm only at the 26% mark and maybe it will get better but no amount of grovelling will redeem Aaron Townsend for me.
