Review: Angry resentful sex and glutton-for-punishment-style heroine just not my thing

I know that the cliche plucky heroine can be so annoying, but I'd rather read about that than a gal who is a squishy doormat so besotted with the hero, she takes whatever belittling abuse the hero gives out. I get uncomfortable and have to slog through to the end. So, this was slow, painful going for me.Won't give any revelations away -- and those may make it okay or even uplifting/romantic for angst-loving readers who embrace a self-effacing female lead who 'understands,' 'forgives' and keeps on giving head with an open heart -- but I just cannot get into it, given how much and how relentless he was in his anger at her up front and how limp she was generally. Trick (hero) dug himself into a pretty deep hole from my point of view and she made me want to scream "Wimp."
