Review: A poor copy of Judith McNaught. Hero is a complete Jackass. The heroine an infatuated 17 yr old idiot glutton for punishment

Terrible book. Rip off of "Whitney my love". Hero is a cruel, sadistic , insecure bastard. I like tortured heroes if there is balance and a journey of redemption. In this book there is no character evolution for him. As stated by another reviewer he remains an idiot till about 92% of the book and even in the end his apology is unconvincing.The heroine is immature, 17 year old infatuated with a 29 year old man. Despite the fact that he treats her with utter contempt she keeps going back for more.  I guess that might be a truer depiction of 17 year old girl who lost her parents early on and is looking for love in all the wrong places to fill the gap.Depiction of 19th century English society is very Americanized. Why would a 17 year old grand daughter of an Earl , call a dowager duchess by her first name.
