Review: A Husband's Regret

A Husband's Regret by Natasha Anders
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Two years ago Bronwyn's billionaire husband threw her out of their mansion when she told him she was pregnant. Since then she's lived off her savings, a small legacy, and a series of low-paid jobs. She's recovering from a bout of flu when her brother-in-law walks into the restaurant where she is working and starts haranguing her for leaving his brother and ruining his life. Next thing she knows, Bronwyn is lying in a hospital bed recovering from pneumonia and her husband is shouting at her. Apparently after she left their home he chased after her, crashed his car and lost his hearing as a result. Now he has found her again he is using his power and money to insist that she and their child return to live with him as Bronwyn has 'stolen' his child from him.

Still desperately in love with her husband, despite his frankly deranged accusations, Bronwyn is too weak to resist, especially when he sometimes treats her so kindly and his kisses are as sweet as ever. Can these two resolve their differences and reconcile?

I know this book is seven years old and written at a time when romance readers relished cold-hearted billionaires who are secretly madly in love with their wives but conflicted because of 'stuff' where they have hate sex, but actually Bronwyn's husband Bryce came across as a petulant child, stamping his foot because of what he thinks his wife did. In contrast, Bronwyn was completely wet and pathetic.

Not one of her better ones.
