Review: Didn't Like the Hero

PLEASURING THE LADY is the second book in the Pleasure Wars series.  It is the story of Lady Portia and Miles, the Marquis of Weatherfield.  The two are old friends who end up in a compromising situation and are forced to marry.  I just couldn't like this book.  It started out in a promising fashion, but I really ended up disliking Miles.  He is a huge jerk who eventually comes around but doesn't grovel enough for the atrocious way he treats Portia.  I've liked other books with similar heroes but I never felt any sympathy or liking for Miles.  I really wanted to like this book because I like Jess Michaels generally and I really liked the first book in the series, but I just couldn't.
