Do women really want/like a foul mouthed, abusive, domineering jerk?
I must have been in a strange mood when I bought this book or else I bought it by accident as it is not my type at all. That being said I did read it and I am amazed that women in 2022 would think it good. The 'hero' is an abusive, domineering, foul mouthed jerk. Is this what women want? He engages in a pull - push 'romance' with the heroine who is too soft to survive. She does toughen up slightly over time but then lets herself down by giving into the 'hero' thinking she is in love. Throughout the story he grabs her, drags her, pushes her - seriously is this woman not allowed to move of her own volition? He doesn't know what he wants and uses and gaslights the 'heroine'. He is not sure he wants her but he gets angry whenever any other man wants her. He is also very fond of the F word. Now to my mind there is a use for the word such as when you drop a brick on your foot, the dog runs away, your fiance is found in flagrante with the bridesmaid or the children set fire to the house. Even the liberal use of the F word seems acceptable to me in those sort of circumstances. But there seemed to be a constant faucet of F running from this guy for absolutely no reason- completely unnecessary and if I had not already disliked the character it would have made me dislike him.
