Review: I liked it, but...

I have never read a bad book by Kristen Ashley.  That being said, this was not one of my favorites.  The main character had an extremely abusive husband, yet she goes directly into a relationship with someone who is very controlling, domineering, and intimidating.  He knows that she has been through an abusive relationship, and he promises to never hurt her.  Yet, he fails to control his own anger, and he gets physical with her a few time just to "get her attention".  He was a good guy, but he did not come across as sympathetic or sensitive.  I liked him, but If I was her friend, I would tell her that she might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.  That would probably make me a bad friend, because I would be telling her to break up with a hot, rich, sexy, alpha male.  But he didn't seem to understand, or care, that he was scaring her.  In fact, he got angry at her for being afraid of his angry, controlling behavior.  What?  Maybe it was just me, but this "hero" missed the mark.
