Don't get me wrong, I like books with the Alpha Male Hero just as much as anyone, wouldn't want to actually live with one but have no problem reading about them. There is this fine line between between this alpha domineering thing being sexy and being abusive. A good author can tread the line and still keep it sexy, usually by giving the hero redeeming qualities that make you understand him and his motivations and believe he's not really a jackass deep down inside.This hero had no redeeming qualities that I could tell or perhaps they appeared further on in the book and I wasn't able to tolerate this book long enough to get to that point. The first intimate encounter between the hero and heroine was so *not* sexy, it made me uncomfortable and a little sick to my stomach. I wanted to jump into the story tell the heroine to call the police, change her locks and get a restraining order against him. I couldn't understand why the heroine put up with it? The way it was done was cheap and tacky and seemed almost like porn, but porn for a guy rather than a woman.Makes me wonder whether the author is a man instead of a woman. Will put this author on my "Do Not Buy Again" list.
