Review: The ending sort-of saved the book

A guy finds out he has a son - the result of a short romance that ended very abruptly. What does he do? Tries to get to know the kid without disrupting his world too much? Makes sure he can spend as much time as possible with the kid? Tries to be friendly to the kid's mother? No, none of the above. He's a great big jerk who just orders the woman he couldn't stop thinking about, around. He locks her up and makes sure she can't get home and he threatens to take the kid - a kid he does not have any legal paternity rights to so it's all bogus. And when he finally has them where he wants them he just forgets all about them because his job is more important.He does redeems himself somewhat towards the end which sort-of saved the book but I do wish the heroine had taken more of a stand against him instead of being so wishy-washy. That's my personal taste and other readers may not find it annoying that she seems to accept almost anything - at least for some time.Another negative thing about the book was the selfish way the hero had sex with the heroine. How about making sure she enjoys herself if he's so in love with her?The writing was good but I could have wished for better editing. One scene - a crucial talk - popped up twice in the story. Apparently the author moved the scene without deleting it. It happens but an editor should notice!I
