Comadrin's manga / #Pushy ML(5)

I thought that the ML was way too pushy, but both their families royally sucked! Her idiot father let his trashy second wife run over his children like a steamroller, drive his son out, and kick his daughter out. Then when he goes broke, he sucks up most of his daughter's earnings. What a stellar dad! As to the ML's mother, she was stealing and destroying her ADULT son's mail. Not only is it wrong and totally unethical, it's against the bleeding law, in both the US and England. As both main characters were adults when they were caught in flagrante delicto, they really should have made something of a stand at the time, instead of letting mom and stepmom lay down the law.

I didn't like him. He was way too pushy, and was also in a position of power as the new owner of her family home. He was just way too familiar with her on brief acquaintance.

Didn’t like the ML at all. He started off with a lot of smug assumptions and behaved quite inappropriately when he first met her, snatching her glasses off and holding them out of reach. What is he, a third grader? Then he kept wanting to have sex with no commitment because his mother passed away. I’m sorry but I don’t understand what makes him desirable to the opposite gender. He just seems like a horny, misogynistic jerk with lots of preconceived notions and nothing in his sights other than his own pleasure. Irresistible? Perhaps to maggots after his demise.

It wasn't too bad. The ML, though: He no sooner sees her than he wants to get in her pants. I also noticed when she said that he had a reputation as a love them and leave them playboy, he immediately changed the subject to say that she knew she wanted him or some such obnoxious cliché. That was kind of a flag of sorts to me. Can't any of these Harlequin MLs have a little innocent romance before intercourse?

Sorry to be such a downer, but Mr. Perfect was a perfect sap. His "I know best" attitude would make any sane woman homicidal, and the fact that he was so damn pushy about making her finish her ghastly father's work when she was obviously distraught at the thought of it gave me a very low opinion of his empathy. He also blew hot and cold on her until anyone would have been in complete confusion about his feelings. In other words, he was a completely unobservant and unempathetic dope.
