With all of these drawbacks together I would expect to get fed up with the book and at least consider not finishing it, but something about the writing really grabbed me! With some books I start checking out when the characters aggravate me, not even caring what becomes of the fools, but in this I really wanted to know what would happen next! I prefer audiobooks, so often I get tired of sitting doing nothing except reading with my actual eyes (lol), and it takes me a while to finish a book. And the hero holds a grudge against all women because one hurt him previously, (boohoo dude), and is basically a brute for much of the book, but even worse, forces himself on the heroine (which is likely accurate for the time and circumstances, but still), is reprehensible! (And also hardly grovels later when he had been very much in the wrong). (She also despises anything considered female, equating it as automatically lesser, and is just generally kind of inconsistent as a character). The heroine is foolish and unreasonable in her extreme levels of pride, and throws tantrums, all of which are major pet peeves of mine. Minor spoilers- I am a little mind boggled by this.
