The capacity of Harlequin stories finding redeeming reasons for men to be flat out asswipes is astonishing, and pretty... faithful. "We're confident that this makes sense!" That's cute, it doesen't.
I don't like it when people don't talk things thoroughly to express what's really bothering them. This makes them make their own assumptions and costs them time. Two years of misunderstanding is not a short time, especially when there's a born baby. 3 stars for the art and the cute baby.
"I just found out my Dad was dying, so I accused you of trapping me when you told me you were pregnant. I then acted cold towards you and made it appear that I'm only marrying you for the child." Way to go, Stud Muffin! You couldn't have screwed things up worse if you had planned it from the get-go. About the only mistake you DIDN'T make was being violent. Thanks for small favours (and that Michelle Reid didn't write it: then he probably would have slapped the heck out of her).
