Ryan left town after the merger with his business and Ava's father's fell through, knowing that someday he'd be able to dispute the lies Jane had told. Jane couldn't stand by and watch her best friend, Ava be bullied into marriage to a man she didn't love, so on the fated wedding day when the minister had asked if anyone could show just cause, Jane stood up and announced to all that she and the groom were lovers. Harlequin Presents # 1918 - November 1997 This was dysfunction at its finest, and the only feeling left at the end of the story was a bleak depression that although they deserved to be together as they are both disgusting, there was no joy or real relationship between the two that makes their pairing even remotely loving or with the potential to ever be happy. That isn't love, that is wretched self-destruction and not my idea of a HEA. Sadly, she has so little self-respect left she does it, and makes a "grand gesture" proposal in front of people she will have to endure continued slights from as long as she is in his life. There was no redemption for either one of these people, he contemptuously tosses her aside until she is willing to publicly beg and humiliate herself to be with him. He is focused on revenge until he decides he wants to permanently humiliate her by marrying her and continue the torture and she laps this treatment up like it is candy. She is right not to trust him, aside from bankrupting her, evicting her from her home, prostituting her out and then forcibly seducing her he does not one thing to prove he is a decent person. There was no romance in this book, just two highly antagonistic, despicable people who probably deserved each other in the end with huge hopes that death hits them before they breed.Īt one point in the book the H tells the h that she isn't worth having because she won't trust him to be honorable. I foresee them dying within a year of the ending cause they killed each other. These two are so dysfunctional it isn't even funny.

The H is one huge load of excrement, and that is probably insulting excrement. Potato Head, much less anyone else including her wimpy, scared meek best friend who wants her to stop the wedding cause the BF can't pick up her big girls pants and say no, I don't want to marry this guy.


The h in this book is the weakest, most pathetic doormat in HP history.
