First, I'm not a fan of this time period, but that ended up okay. All these people with mercurial emotions. Trey was just a jerk. Snapping his fingers and demanding obedience. Having stupid arguments with his brother. He wasn't a warm and fuzzy man, except when he was. Burned by a cheating 1st wife, he was crazy jealous with his 2nd wife, whom he frequently called "darling". I'm from the south, I don't think I've ever met a southern man who left a 'g' hanging onto that word when pronounced. If the character is southern enough to say "ain't", then "darlin'" ought to be in their dialect. That annoyed me to no end.Gen was desperate to please him in any way she could, since he rescued her from a life of proverty by marrying her - sight unseen. It's a darned good thing he can make her scream in bed too, because they are instantly compatable in that department. Trey has managed to rock Gen's world from the consummation of their wedding, when he was an absolute prick of a stranger. Sorry, but that's just too much for me, particularly when she's half afraid of him. Gen was given to overwrought actions too. She does a lot of trembling and cringing, except when she's not. There is nothing so tedious the characters of a tale having such limited conversations. They kept rehashing the same stuff.What did I like when Trey wasn't growling and causing Gen to tremble or have screaming, melodramatic head thrashing orgasms? There actually was a story here. Just not enough of one. Disappointed.
