Ugh!!! I hate that I want to know what happens in this series. I despise and loathe the MMC.
He is awful and horrific and there is absolutely NOTHING redeeming about him. As the reader, I think we’re supposed to find his obsessive psychotic behavior enduring and an example of his devotion to his wife. Instead I find his abhorrent words and actions 110% abusive. He rapes, tortures, gaslights and terrorizes her non-stop. The author’s attempt at the FMC’s “acceptance” of her attraction and love for the MMC is total BS that I’m not buying.
