Review: Heroine irritated me to no end, didn't finish story

This book started out so promising. The action begins right away with a marriage and the groom being less than friendly. Boom. To the bedroom. Boom. Lies and doesn't want to sleep with her. I was on the edge of my seat and the book was so interesting but then the heroine got so badly annyoing I could only make it 1/4 of the way through the book. I stopped reading when she was pleased as punch that the hero put the women to work doing men's work in the field because the men were sick (in keeping with our modern vision of "equality" naturally). All historical romance has degenerated to today is characters in old fashioned clothes and settings with feminist viewpoints. The heroine was over the top annoying and was going to have her way no matter what the consequences. She causes a mess of trouble once in the beginning by not listening to her husband's order to go back to her room. Despite being the "brute" he actually had a good reason for telling her that. I can see it now "no man will control me" (she doesn't say that but she doesn't have to, the mindset was clear). I don't know what happens later but it was almost too much of a torture just to make it 1/4 of the way through. Ok, next book. Sure glad this one was free.
