Review: I doubt I'll read another of the author's books

I was enjoying this book in a sedate, ordinary kind of way until about mid way through. Once again the H (like in the other book of this author's) had a previous love whom he had wanted to marry and he told the h about her early in their marriage. I just find it hard in a romance to be reading about 'the one who got away'. I was hopeful at the beginning that the H was falling in love with the h and we could avoid the previous love. No such luck. Anyway both books that I've now read by this author are not books of grand passion but rather ones of quiet love where feelings have grown. I can't explain this very well other than to say it all feels quite insipid.I was extremely annoyed by the H's reaction to the news that the h had been engaged secretly to the H's sisters husband before, and not told him. He was more passionate in reacting to her 'betrayal' than he was in admitting his love for the h.I like the author's style of writing but I can't read another story like this again. I want to read grand passion or great love stories, not this style of quiet but unsatisfying romance.
