Excellent writing skills wasted on very bad imagination.  I have never read through such a long book where there was zero romance. I must admit that this book was very compelling, I could not stop reading until I finished.  So many times I wondered if I had lost mind to continue to read. But I am a romantic and I kept hoping that husband or wife might relent and romance would bloom.  Did not happen.  Wife kept waiting for romance, husband scared of rejection, THROUGHOUT the entire book.  Really this book should not be in the category of Romance.  It is a husband and wife fighting constantly. I do understand the wife's frustrations, being a wife myself and I have put up with a clueless husband on occasion. Emma gave new meaning to the words, mean and nasty, she  took frustration to unimaginable heights. Her wedding night could have been so different. I must stop. I am sorry but I cannot recommend this book with a good conscience. I am sorry I wasted so many hours reading this.
