Boyfriend Bargain by Ilsa Madden-Mills
2.0
What the heck, Ilsa?
The storytelling is good as always but the story...
Hated the dead ex angle.
Hated the resemblance.
Hated that there was no groveling.
Hated that H's feelings for his dead ex was made to be a big deal at the start and then downplayed at the end like "oh no I didn't really love her all that much it was just blah blah blah".
And worst of all, I hated that in the end they made it seem like the h was to blame that they had to break up and go through that heartache. WTF?
Zack was promising in the beginning but he turned into the kind of H that I hate. He just let Sugar go when she found out about the resemblance. He put hockey first instead of apologizing and trying to win her back. He even ignored her the first few times they saw each other after the breakup. He waited until after the National Championship to actually apologize, beg another chance, and promise to do better. He said he lied on the letters he wrote to his dead ex where he kept saying "I love you forever". He's full of excuses!!! And while apologizing he was like "I needed you but you left me" like it was not a big deal that Sugar's heart got broken first because he lied (by omission, but it was still a lie). And Sugar, the supposedly-brainy-beacuse-she's-pre-law idiot, was like "I should have given him a chance to explain". Wow. Just wow. I'm so mad because I had a similar experience, the only difference is in my situation the ex is still alive.
Story sucked. Don't recommend.
