Craving His Command (The Doms of Genesis, #7.5)

I love this series, but this one was a HUGE miss for me. OMG in what universe is it remotely romantic to have a hero whose wife is still alive (was hit by a drunk driver in a vegetative state for the past five years) then add pages and pages of him sitting by her bedside expounding on how she was the love of his life. Going over all their memories and special moments together. Feeding her etc. How the hell am I NOT suppose to feel like the heroine is second best...sigh.



If that wasn't bad enough, he wants the heroine but won't sleep with her, but we get a lovely scene of him sleeping with some other chick. Who he treats like a cum depository with no warmth or feelings. He calls her to be ready in ten minutes (this after sitting with his wife and reminiscing) when she opens the door and suggests they talk or take a walk. He yells at her to get naked and on the bed that isn't what they signed a contract for. Then he slaps on a condom and shoves it in. Of course, the other woman is all happy because her husband walked out on her for another woman (?) and I guess she should feel special that this asshole hero gives her the time of day??!!



Then, of course, the wife conveniently dies at the end (the first time the heroine even finds out he is married) and the heroine attends the funeral with him. Oy vay...
