I liked it. Virgin widow h vs judgy H who thinks she's a whore and golddigger.

The hero had always wanted her, but thought she was a slut, cheating on his brother with his brother's best friend. Doesn't take more than a few pages to figure out the 'best friend' is really the brother's lover and simply a friend of the h's. Their's was a temporary MOC based on the brother being afraid to come out to his ailing grandfather and super studly older brother. She did love him, but not in a wifely sort of way. The heroine's mother was sick and her father's business was failing. She married the brother to make his grandfather happy and he bailed her father out. They planned to divorce after the grandfather died. Then a car wreck make the h a widow before they could divorce.

Some may be offended at the initial shock/horror of the hero and the fact that the entire family was so willfully blind. It is definitely a book of its time as far as the views on homosexuality are concerned. Not that things are perfect now, or so many would not choose to stay in the closet.

The H/h had chemistry, no doubt, but he was always very Jekyll and Hyde with her. I'm not sure why she loved him, but this is HPLandia where you just go with such things. Although I don't feel like enough time was spent with them getting to know one another. too much bickering and nasty accusations from the H and his flip-floppy ways.
