The Santangeli Marriage
Just when you think you’ve seen the worst excuse for romantic fiction, someone comes up with a travesty like this with irredeemable entitled scum for an ML. He blackmails her into marriage and then promises to give her time to overcome her fear of sex, but after a day and a half, he has no patience left. Throws her out of the house for 8 months and spends all his time with prostitutes. A weak moron FL who would love and forgive Adolph Eichmann. Her family, who would probably force her to work as a prostitute to pay off their debts. His grandmother, continually saying unforgivable things at the family dinner table. If the FL had a thimbleful of self respect, she would have burned his palazzo down while both of their families were inside and moved to the other side of the planet.
Act of Betrayal
There's dumb as a box of rocks, then there's dumber than a trainload of granite blocks, and finally there's this ML. No matter what the reason, no matter that he didn't cheat on her sexually, he out and out betrayed her. So did her filthy uncle. In fact, the two of them might as well have been in cahoots for all the damage they did to her. When she found out all the truth, she should have taken all, and I mean ALL, of her equity in the company, left Uncle Scumbag to prison and his crappy excuse for a daughter high and dry, told ML to hug a root for all eternity, hired Lucha Libre to beat the living crap out of her wannabe boyfriend, then left town and gotten a name change.
The Royal Baby Bargain
Well, he was definitely someone who would improve by being kicked down a very long flight of stairs. His sister was absolutely right about him: he was an unmitigated control freak. That is something that I’ve never seen someone get past by “discovering love.” And the premise of the FL having to be approved by a social worker when she was “officially” the boy’s birth mother on his birth certificate is absolutely ridiculous. Dumb story from the get go with an ML who would drive anyone who lived with him insane to the point of suicide or homicide. Oh yeah, and the asshole blackmailed her too.
The Tycoon's Virgin Bride
Sorry to the author, but I couldn't finish the story it was so bad. They couldn't have made the ML more of an a**hole if that was their desire. I'm male, but if there's anything in this world I hate, it's a man who can't respect the word "no." The ML was nothing more than a self-satisfied, sexually harassing scumbag.
A Girl Possessed
Damn. It’s another pre-pubescent Daphne Du Maurier fan fiction by Ms. Winspear. I guess even Yukako Midori can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
Bought By The Greek Tycoon
What a pig! Blackmails her into marriage, DEMANDS that she forget her late husband (a trope I really despise), and flies into a rage and stomps off announcing he's going to be with his secretary (who's also his ex) until they can divorce in three years. A marriage with him would be toxic as hell and his wife would have to walk on eggshells for the rest of her life. Not even Yukako Midori could make him into a remotely sympathetic character.
Mistress & A Million Dollars
Really, really bad.
