I unearthed this book at the back of a closet the other day, which I thought was a funny place for me to put a book. I vaguely remembered not liking it all that much, but I figured it couldn't be too bad because it's by LaVyrle Spencer, so I started reading it again. By the time I got to chapter 7 or thereabouts, I remembered exactly why I had chucked it into a closet the first time around.
Jesse, the hero, is an asshole of the first order. Abigail was a little irritating and prissy at first, but she had my full sympathy after Jesse woke up and started talking. He's rude. He's ungrateful. He provokes her for no reason and pins her to beds and kisses her even when she says 'No, seriously, stop' like six times. I spent most of the book wishing his wound would suddenly turn septic and kill him, and then the rest of the story would be about Abbie realizing David is actually a really sweet guy who respects her and values her opinions and would never hold her at gunpoint over fucking pork chops. Jesse is awful.
I'm going to go read "Morning Glory" or "The Endearment" and try to forget about this. The book is going right back in the closet, and Jesse DuFrayne can go fuck himself.
