Description: By the end of this book, I felt disgusted, pissed off, used, & thoroughly abused. This book cemented itself in my top 10 list of most hated books. If you don’t want spoilers, stop after the preview.

Preview:

• Male Mc you will hate.
• Female Mc you will not have an ounce of respect or empathy toward.
• Fluff that takes up 50%.
• A romance that’s impossible to root for because the MC spends 90% obsessively, adamantly in love with another woman that the female MC doesn’t have a chance in hell at fighting against for his whole heart.

MC’s

Meet Harper…

She’s that girl that leaps headlong into shit, but that’s cute, honest, endearing, and witty enough that you’ll initially overlook her obvious TSTL mentality.

So, you meet her as she’s run off with no money, no cell, & no gas headed to possibly sleep on a friend’s couch and re-sort her f’d up life. Stupid? Yes!

She runs out of gas in a bar parking lot, where she sees a girl being mistreated by a brawny mfer. Our girl here runs and jumps the dude and ends up getting her ass kicked. Stupid? Yes!

As Luke points out, it’s a wonder the girl “barely controlled chaos” is
still alive.

Meet Luke…

He’s the hero of the moment ^. The all-American military virile male complete with abs and tats. Of course, he is detached and scorned from romance for reasons to be determined MUCH later, but that are so blatantly obvious; standoffish personality vs ready-injectable hero; & has a perfectly nuclear family that loves him too much and is overly concerned with finding him a girl.

From there you have:

Her….

To his…

As the story progresses…

Luke transitions from your typical grieving, scorned male that refuses to emotionally feel anything for a woman, but that readers sympathetically root for to get his head out of his ass ~ to ~an absolute, and I do mean AbsoFUCKINGlutely , asshole who you’ll just wish would lock himself in his room and be left to cry the rest of the book in solitude.

He will go down as one of the most infuriating, selfish, cowardly, asinine, idiotic, woe is me mfing characters I’ve ever read.

I hated him. I’m not talking love to hate him. No, I’m talking absolutely want to nutpunch him and stomp his dickbits.

Sure he is honest with her; he flat out tells her he will never love her.

But, he asks her to stay even though he will never love her. He allows and even encourages her to carve a place in his life as a live-in girlfriend and does things that are contradictory to his declaration that he will never love her.

He says the most hurtful, cringeworthy things to Harper over and over. He says he wants to push her away for her own good, but then pulls her back to use her for his own carnal desires. He is a self-absorbed coward. He physically hurts her during sex, acknowledges this, and even asks her why she keeps letting her use her.

And, this brings us to her part in this fucked up relationship. No way can I even feel bad for her plight. She allows, welcomes, and excuses all the above. She apologizes constantly for basically being a human vs an emotionally devoid robot. She pours her heart and soul into him, his being okay, his sanity, his happiness, his comfort, his pleasure, his pain, etc all while he constantly discards her and her feelings like yesterday’s trash.

She is desperate. She’s an emotional outhouse for him. And, it’s sickening to see it unfold.

Storyline

^Clearly^

Even if you’re a reader that can excuse his behavior to his pain and love for his dead wife, <<<?that in itself should moot the current romance you’re f’ing reading here between Luke and Harper. The obsessive level of his visceral feelings for his dead wife and the fact that readers must read them AND him saying he will NEVER love anyone but his dead wife over and over for 90% of the book LEAVE NO MFING ROOM FOR HARPER IN THIS BOOK.

Her being okay with being underneath some dead woman on a pedestal of fucking perfection in his heart left me feeling disgusted. Not an ounce of romance in this for me, unless you count the romance between the mc and his dead wife.

My reaction to him deciding that he can love both his dead wife and Harper in the last 5% of the book~

Could This Shit Be Stretched Any Further?

It’s not bad enough that the main storyline itself is what it is. No, hell no! The author has to swamp this book with a separation deployment that lasts at least 25% of the book.

The secondary romances between countless other characters, so many mundane day-to-day bullshit scenes that I could make a Pinterest board on it, the weird dead wife mama shit, a lame knife attack, and even more lame drama plot of revenge by an ex-foster dad… It just goes on and on and on.
