Where to start with this one? I love tales of painful betrayals and redemption. The H was a jerk, no question. What kept me reading was the question how the H, who was so very cruel, could be redeemed.
The h hated and for the most part hated well, it would be too much to expect 100% consistency in the hate level in one of these romances but still done better than a lot of other 'I hate you, I despise you' books. It was frustrating that the h felt the need to apologise for the smaller issues yet the H never uttered one word of contrition...though some may argue it was done more subtly and the whole forcing marriage was an act of contrition.
The h's realisation of the H's love for her was in the most part well done if a little obtuse. the final explanation
Spoiler
family honour above love...something not everyone will understand.At the end of the day, I kind of liked it.

Hero marries heroine to get revenge on her grandfather. He rejects her after their wedding night although he secretly loves her. His honor supposedly forces him to continue with his plot (yes, it's over the top). A few years later, she's in financial trouble and he sees it as a golden opportunity to force her to remarry him. Definitely a guilty pleasure type of book.
This was definitely a page turner. I couldn't wait to see what the H would do next. What I liked about this was the fact that she didn't just fall back in with him when he came back. She was angry and she let him know it and for more than one page. The H was a very arrogant over-the-top alpha, but those are fun to read about
