Dangerous Rhapsody
I loved the women in the story, but the males all gave me a pain. The ML was so fixated on revenge that he acted like a complete cad for most of the story. When they broke up, she didn't cheat on him, she wasn't after his money, she merely said she didn't love him and couldn't marry him. He counted that as a complete betrayal. Dude is SEVENTEEN years older than her and yet he couldn't communicate enough to find out why she refused his proposal? And where in the Bible, Koran, or Buddhist Scriptures does it say that a woman HAS to accept a marriage proposal just because the dude says he loves her? As to the other males, her brother is a parasitic, manipulative loser with no moral fiber, and the ML's cousin is a married, adulterous horndog who badmouths a woman that he seduced into loving him. My perfect ending would be for Emma and Louisa to take Annabel and raise her themselves, leaving all the men to glory in their testosterone and complete lack of integrity.
Backfire
Again, all the men in the story really suck: The ML is a revenge-obsessed idiot who would destroy innocent people's lives to get his revenge (not to mention being a sexually harassing and rather vulgar horndog); Her father is a misogynistic sap who belittles his daughter and sees her as a pawn in his hedonistic life; Bradley is a stalker and jerk who would use any means to get her. She should have gone off on her own and found a life unencumbered with toxic a**holes.
Solitaire
Sorry about rating it so low, but the ML treated her like trash from the beginning, when he KNEW better, as Jack's buddy and confidante. He also had as much right being a parent as I do being Surgeon General of the United States.
