Review: Not exactly a Hero to Look up to

I love a good enemies to lovers story, the more conflict the better. But it would be nice if this hero had a spine to go with his conflict with the heroine. This one is a weakling who can't even speak up to his awful father. Not exactly a hero to look up to.He deals in an incredibly underhanded way with the heroine. He never spoke up in her defense after taking her virginity in HS, instead let the whole town gossip about her. Now he's trying to drive her out of business, and using his bank's financial support or lack of it for other townspeople, to force them to go along. This would be frowned on the federal and state banking commissions, I do believe.Ironically, it would be easier to take his behavior if he at least had a strong character, and some great angst in his past to have made him a bad boy we want to see reformed. As it is, he's the kind of guy who'd make a great New Adult villain, but not an adult hero.The heroine has a backbone, but could use some smarts when it comes to picking a guy to fall for. Instead, in between stomping around and yelling at the hero, she's giggling with him in corners and getting naked. Right.
