I hate to leave this review as I adore Kleypas's Wallflowers & Ravenels series.
I love the enemies-to-lovers trope but this one made me cringe. Too much inexcusable, awful behavior. What happened in this story just can't lead to a HEA. Their respective backstories just weren't enough to elicit enough sympathy for this kind of behavior. I couldn't get to the HEA. DNF at 44%.
