Reseñas
Occasional scenes might have been more concrete but I know that just the way I prefer books to be and doesn't really reflect on the quality of the book.
I have just discovered that this is the first of a two part story which normally I don't like but I was so pleased with this story that I will definitely read the next one, especially since I felt that a couple of threads were not tied up. Now I know why.
I actually kind of dig alphahole heroes, for sure, but there has to be a good grovel at the end of the book. And there was *no* grovel AT ALL in this book, even after the hero basically ripped the heroine's self-esteem and dignity into flimsy, confetti shreds. Like, even as he does worse and worse things to the heroine (because he had a crappy childhood, *eyeroll*), there was barely any acknowledgement from him that he regretted what he was doing. And at the end of the book -- and this is after the hero has been verbally abusive, cold, horrible and left the heroine bleeding and alone in the hospital after a traumatizing miscarriage -- the heroine actually apologizes to him. TO HIM. For not having enough faith in him or something, I DON'T KNOW. At that point, I felt like I needed a shower and if I hadn't been reading the book on my iPhone, I would thrown the whole thing against the wall.
So, yeah. I do have strong feelings about this book, mostly anger. I think India Grey writes wonderfully, but this hero of hers was a little too dark and sociopathic for my taste.
The story started off good and seemed interesting at first but the more it went it started to get tiresome. I did like Rachel and little baby Felix, but what brought the book down for me was Orlando. I can understand that losing one’s eyesight would be life-changing, but he acted as though it was life-ending. He thought he couldn’t be a father to his son, and therefore, refused to have anything to do with little Felix. He thought if he told Rachel he was losing his eyesight, she would want nothing to do with him. And on and on it went. The way he kept his failing eyesight a secret from everyone, when it was going to become known anyway, just got tedious after awhile. The more the story went, the more I lost interest.

The heroine was very fragile and had some nervous breakdown type mental issues. The hero while he was trying to get revenge on her family through her, still did some very lovely things for her and really only treated her poorly one time.
The sex scenes were pretty out there for HPs especially the first one. But they were well written and fairly hot.
All in all it convinced me that I need to try more by this author.
