This Man
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
This book questioned my sanity and those of whom gave it 4-5 stars. I rarely write reviews, especially bad ones. I think the writing itself was good, but the story, characters, storyline was... Unrewarding? Disturbing? Unfulfilling? I questioned how people who liked this found it rewarding in any way. I Couldn't stand either character, his behavior is everything I tell my daughter to stay away from. This is exactly the kind of guy who ends up being abusive and someone says I should've seen the signs. He wasn't redeeming, funny, Charming, Just HOT. SO WHAT? It's not hot for a man to treat you like a spoiled toddler. It's pathetic. Admittedly, I don't like books with sex scenes every chapter or two. I like love stories but this is erotica not romance. I wanted to quit every night, but wanted to see how it could be turned around since I had heard much about it. But in the end the book doesn't even have a happy ending? I gotta torture myself again to get it? very rare in romance world. So after that I wanted to give it 1- negative stars. I like alpha male characters, reasonably jealous, possesive guys, but this guy has problems. if you like your hero to be overly possessive, controlling, treats heroine like a child ALL the time and punishes her for disobedience by having sex with her...? if demanding, boring guys who are emotionally closed off then this is the book for you. I hope anyone in this kind of relationship doesn't think this is how someone who loves you should ever act. I'm actually angry after reading it, and I when they got into a fight I found myself cheering for the couple to break up.. First time I've ever felt like that!!
