17. Rises the Night - Colleen Gleason

Unlike [livejournal.com profile] magicnoire, I am firmly not in the Pesaro camp. If there's anything worse than an asshole, it's a brooding asshole. I'll take sleaze over asshole any day. However, I found the triumph of the asshole telegraphed in neon in the first book, so it doesn't come as any great shock to me to learn how the series turns out. And they're fun, so I'll keep reading.

(I am certainly feeling uncharitable due to illness, but he's really an asshole.)

Having been in that position myself many a time when it comes to my Japanese media, I completely understand.

To be fair (or not), many of those other folks were romance readers and romance readers tend to operate on the notion that the heroine sleeps with no one but the man she'll end up with.
