Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In reading this book, I have truly learned what it meant for a heroine to be "TSTL". I originally had left the majority of the following as a comment on a review, but then I came across the book on my Kindle still and, upon flipping through it, became so... perturbed... again, that I decided to modify the comment and actually leave a review. There might be a SPOILER-ish statement or two. Synopsis can be found in other reviews. The h Sabrina is a work of art. She is extremely unrealistic for both her circumstance and her time period. She decides she will not tell her husband (not knowing who he is) that she has multiple children and also that she will never have sex with him. He will monetarily support her fully and her unborn child and twin sons and she will never have willing sex with him. And she will withhold everything she can, never speak to him, see him, etc. And she's the heroine. HEROine. Uh huh. And besides being LOUD, why exactly was the Other Woman worse than her? At least the OW was... honest about being ambitious and greedy. The only way I could make it make sense was that she'd been slightly permanently brain damaged from her first husband. And that if nothing bad had ever happened to her in life she would've been a cold hearted beesh on her own. She was narcissistic and selfish in the extreme, ESPECIALLY at the end, and for a woman so determined to "protect" her children, she did everything in her power to make sure her children ended up fatherless and penniless if her actions even left them alive. Irresponsible? Extremely. Selfish? Can't stress that enough. Her actions condemning her children to die very cruelly? Yup! Lucky for her she had a spineless lackey for a Hero. Gideon's character was unbelievable as well. He was more an idealization than a real person. The fact that she tossed in that he was damaged-from-childhood as a way to make him a total non-self-respecting pansy was a bit ... convenient. Can't assert himself at all because every five seconds he's remembering childhood rejection and that's how he lets Sabrina rule him. The fact that he had so little personal self-worth was a huge turnoff. Why was he considered a rogue again? He never did anything rogue-ish. In fact, he bent over backward in every possible way hoping his frigid bride would spare him a smile. A rogue just because that was the name of a little group of friends that she wants to feature in a series? That's like a group of "nerds" calling themselves REAL Wizards just because they gather in the basement once a week to play D&D. I think the author has taken interesting premises but somehow failed slightly in the execution. I don't think we're supposed to hate the heroine and pity the undesirable hero. Drizzle the Dog was my favorite character, hands down.
