Review: Awful story, not worth reading

I recently read 2 good books by this author and decided to give this one a try despite the negative reviews. Imagine my horror when I discovered that I'd actually read it before and had obviously tried really hard to forget it. It must have been before I started doing reviews on Amazon just over a year ago. I now track what books I've read via my reviews of those books. I'm not going to do a summary because there are so many. I'll just say what I hated:+++Spoilers+++The H was a jack**s for most of the book. I couldn't forgive him for taking the h's innocence just before halfway into the book, without remorse or compassion. He leaves her without a backward glance. In short I hated him. She was a 17 year old innocent and he treated her like a doxy. She was under his protection in his house but only in so far as it suited him. He gets her pregnant, refuses to believe he is the father, accuses her of being a wh**e several times despite the fact that he knows he ruined her. He marries her only because he is forced to, all the while thinking that he doesn't have to and he doesn't touch her for a very long time after they are married. He has no honour and actually I shouldn't even be referring to him as an H, he doesn't deserve that accolade. The author couldn't redeem him because she let him be an arrogant bas**rd for too long into the book (more than 90%). The things he says and does to an innocent young girl are dreadful to read and impossible to forgive. At 92% he is on the verge of going to a brothel, how on earth are we to believe in an hea at this point? Rookie mistake on the author's part, I think. I know the h hero-worshipped him and I longed for her to turn her back on him but she was only 17 and in love and no different from every other woman that chased after him. Very disappointing.Do yourself a favour and skip this book. The second You and Only You is much better and well worth reading without the pain of this awful book.
