Review: weak pathetic selfish hero

I didn't dislike this book because the hero was abusive and less than complimentary in the way he spoke to the heroine as some other reviewers did. I dislike him because of the callous unfeeling way he treated the heroine and hurt her needlessly. **** Spoiler Alert*** Ok, Even if he felt he had to marry Lucy to save his mother finding out that his Dad had fathered an illegitimate child with another woman, couldn't he have told her in private ahead of time? He gave a ring to another woman days after he slept with her? Why tell her I never made you any promises? So I can propose to another woman without even the courtesy of telling her -  days after he took her virginity? He was callous - kept telling her again and again "I never made you any promises" - that after she didn't understand how he could propose to another woman without a word to her, only days after he took her virginity. I mean, he took her virginity and then she found out after he was marring another woman while he cold shouldered her and the woman flashed the ring at her. I didn't think she should take him back. I also I agree the ending felt rushed. The book ended very abruptly - the conflict suddenly  was resolved in what seemed like the the last 5 pages. Very quick ending. The ending was way too rushed.
