Reader Question – Looking for book recommendations where the husband rejected his wife, and is now trying to repent…

November 30, 2017 By Maryse 52 Comments

UPDATED: 09-24-19 (new recommendations on this list, PLUS you can find more on lists with similar tropes):

  • He doesn’t want her – Unrequited Love Book Recommendations
  • Looking for a book recommendation with an alpha male and some unrequited love… AND
  • all of the posts that we’veΒ categorized “Unrequited Love”

Sonia is looking for recommendations, and I know we’ve read a bunch like these (especially the arranged marriage ones). Let’s see if we can make a new “best of” list. πŸ˜€

These are the genres that make me FURIOUS… and yet I can’t out ’em down. Definitely tends towards “bully” anti-heroes.

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I hope you could help me out. I’ve already searched goodreads. But came up with reads with hero’s that were so-so cruel not truly cruel.

I’d like to read a book . Where for some reason . The hero married and has rejected his wife. But before doing so he’s beenΒ  very cruel towards her. Which is showed throughout the book.Β Or a book where the hero raped the heroine and now regrets it.

Now he’s trying to repent.

Books that I’ve read so far are The Unwanted Wife (The Unwanted Series Book 1)Β and A Husband’s Regret (The Unwanted Series Book 2).

 

READER RECOMMENDATIONS (UPDATED 09-24-19)

Aditi: Read β€œThe Kiss Thief” it will satisfy you completely and you will be head over heels for this book

MichelleS: just finished The Kiss Thief. Another 5 star read! I’m on a roll here. Could not put it down. …That Wolfe is a big bad alpha. And everyone has secrets. Every page has me saying, β€œhe did NOT just do that” or β€œhe did NOT just say that”.

Sonia: I would like to add Take this Regret (The Regret Series Book 2) on the list.Β Because the hero was mean at the start which caused the heroine alot heartache. But he grovelled alot.

Anyone have more to suggest? (original suggestions when post was first created)

Maryse: I read The Unwanted Wife!!! I remember how popular that one was back in our early indie-days. Another that comes to mind is Aleatha Romig’s “Consequences” series. OMG!!!!! Perfect recommendation for this.

Robyn: OMG! You so need to readΒ Unbreak My HeartΒ by Nicole Jacquelyn. The H and h aren’t married in the first half of the book, but he is married to her best friend. She has loved the H all her life and he is sooooo mean to her even though the h helps take care of his 4 kids with her BF while he deploys. EEEEEK! I totally love this book!!

Maryse: YES Robyn!!!! HE WAS SUCH AN A$$!!!!!! Great suggestion, I read and loved that one!

51uC43qQi9L._SL160_.jpg

Karen: Life Without YouΒ by S.P. West. Just finished this one. It was hard to give the husband a second chance on this one.

Tessa:Β Accidental Witness (Morelli Family, #1) by Sam Mariano is one. She witnesses him kill someone and he has to marry her to prevent her death.

Dena:Β Accidental Witness (Morelli Family, #1)Β by Sam Mariano The series is full of that.

Charity: Consequences of DeceptionΒ by Ella Fox. They aren’t married but the h was always in love with the H but misunderstandings and events took separated them. Then the H comes back and the H is cruel and mean to the h until the truth comes out.

Jen: there is another book where they are forced to marry each other but i can remember the name of it. he brings another woman into their bedroom and sleeps with her and her makeup gets all over the wall and that is how the wife finds out. does that sound familiar to anyone?

Maryse: GASP!!!!! JEN!!! That would have made me throw my eReader!!!!!

Billie: Jen. Yours isΒ Sparrow

Jen: Billie, Yes!Β Sparrow! That was a good one! Thank you for helping me!

Maryse: YES!!! I read that one. That’s true, and I think there was extreme ranting and raving by me. How did I forget that??

D.G.: Maryse SparrowΒ was one of my five stars!!! I just LOVED it! It got the emotions going!!!

D.G.: Oh andΒ Virtue & Vanity by Astrid Jane Ray!!!!! Arranged marriage, total misconceptions, and he does hurt her so definitely has triggers.

Melinda:Β 53 Letters For My Lover. I loved that book. It’s Arranged marriage and Shayda gets raped. Then the husband won’t have anything to do with her. And then she meets someone else while she’s married.

Carla: Ohhh I crave these books as well. Actually I read a bunch these last days. I’d recommend you:

  • Unbreak My Heart (Fostering Love)Β by Nicole Jacquelyn (amazing book)
  • The Contract (The Contract Series Book 1)Β by Melanie Moreland (I never expected it to be so so good)
  • Kiss an Angel by Suzan Elizabeth Phillips (he’s so cruel to her)
  • Sparrow Β by L.J. Shen
  • Duncan’s Bride by Linda Howard

Sonia: I read Duncan bride and frankly I never found him that cruel.
I feel unbreak my heart hero was worse. Also the hero in virtue and vanity.
I read both books last year. I’m not sure about Life without you by S.P West.Β I read the reviews on gd and it seems like the hero cheated. But heroine took him back minus any grovelling. In cheating I prefer grovelling.

Cicely:Β Wrecking Ball Β by B.N Toler is a good one too!!! Made me cry buckets πŸ™

Amy: My first thought was The Unwanted Wife but great minds and all. πŸ˜‰Β LOVED that one, and the second (A Husband’s Regret (The Unwanted Series Book 2)) was pretty good as well. But something about The Unwanted Wife was extra touching and still sticks with me to this day. GAH!!! I haveΒ SparrowΒ but I can’t do the whole forgiving-the-H-after-cheating thingΒ Dangit!! And now I have Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus stuck in my head!

Dena I have a question for you.
I know you have to read the seriws in order. But the other book seems about other characters. So can I read accidental Witness then resisting Mateo? Then so on or do I have to read the whole lot.
I thought I could skip because one book about Mateo right man another about his sister.

I’m looking for this book where the H and h are married and he treats her very badly. And I don’t remember the whole thing but she gets amnesia and can’t remember how he treated her. She gets nightmares and also the H’s driver (I think his name is Drew) raped her. I think the h’s name is Skye?

Ann I found it I’ve read this book. In it the girl moves and escapes the hero. Then later remembers what happens. When she escaped she made a life where she worked at a hippy cafe. She had a police officer bf and a loud/bossy neighbour.
It turns out her husband would abuse sexually/verbally neglect her. Leave her in a room locked with no food.

Sonia, In the book I’m looking for the h was married to the H and he hated her for some reason I can’t remember. So he treated her very badly.
Then I think the h runs away and gets in an accident and gets amnesia. By then, the H, who’s a millionaire regrets hurting her and finds her and brings her back. She gets her memories in the form of nightmares and she tells him in the end that she was raped by his best friend( or driver).

Ann i looked at the list Maryse suggested im 1000% sure its Underestimated by Jettie Woodruff .
i know it wasnt indecent proposal . I checked it out after suggesting you it. The problem was i had read Underestimated by Jettie Woodruff on unlimited kindle so i gave both books back. But had thought the book would still be in my library which it wasnt and i confused it for indecnt proposal. it deffo Underestimated by Jettie Woodruff.
Spoilers in that book what happens is the author shows us that a girl called Morgan lives in a shitty trailer with her drunk mother and dad Morgan neglected . i think her mum takes drugs i cant remember . Morgan mum leaves her and runs off . I think Morgan dad a drunk and beats her she has a brother too . We find this on later on in the book. Morgan basically marries Drew who is verbally abusive of her , he uses her like a sexual toy, does bdsm but without consent . He shared her with his driver . Locked her up in a cold gym room after beating the shit out of her . At the same time when she would go out with the driver he raped her in the car but Morgan didint tell Drew because she thought he wont believe her. Anyway the driver took advantage and then would threaten her that if she didint have sex with him he would tell Drew. After that one time Morgan got beaten up by Drew she decided enough is enough. Drew house keeper was trying to convince Morgan to leave but Morgan kept saying no. The house keeper transfered money that Drew thought was donation money since he donated alot . Into a private account got Morgan a fake id , money from the account and got her out.
Morgan moved made a life for herself where she had a wild/bold neighbour who would come over to her house everyday. Morgan started dating a sherif and she worked at cafe with the owner who was a hippi . she was still scared Drwe will find her but she eventually started living her life. She didnt tell anyone about her past.
Her boss told Morgan to come with her to New York for a hippy market fair where they could buy stuff to sell . Morgan tried to make excuses not to go because NY was where Drew stayed. But she went anyway everything went fine and she came back no incident a few months later they went again this time the owner could not go with her . But told Morgan that her sister will meet her at NY . But morgan would have to travel back and forth by herself. So Morgan went everything was fine one day Morgan told her owner sister you can do your thing i’ll just go around and we will meet later . Morgan was walking around when she stopped at a jewellers shop. Drew owned lots of jewellery shops. it was his shop Morgan froze then moved away but before she could leave a man shouted her real name Morgan ( she used a fake Reily name where she lived) and Morgan turned only to come face to face tothe drew driver. She tried to run he grabbed her arm she screamed run away from him got into her car and drove very fast with the driver chasing her . thats when she had the accident . But got amensia Drew decided not to tell her how their marriage was and pretended everything was normal. She later got dreams of past vile Drew which never added up to the new loving Drew.
There is more but i dont want to spoil the whole series. this is my review on it https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17913288-underestimated

Hi, i hoped that you could help find a book. It is a part of a series, I dont remember the series, I just read one of the books and at the end the author gave this sneak a peak off the uncoming book. Thats the book that im searching for, so okey what I remember is the next things:
– In the book that I read the hero had a sister and she kinda of had an unhappy marriage, the hero got his HEA and at the end they all (like all the famil, the sister included) had a dinner and the hero’s wife (which would be her sister-in-law) asked her if everything is okey in her life (she kinda like gain weight) and they were all concerned because she stopped coming around and her husband didnt come around too, so the sister-in-law asked her and she told that they were trying to get pregnant but it was not working.
– in the teaser at the end of her brother’s books, we could see how was her married life, she was not working and I remember that went the time came for her husband to come from work she got ready and he didnt notice or maybe he said something rude like,what are wearing? or you are too fat. I really dont remember more.
If someone knows which book im talking about please comment it. TIA

The second book in the β€œUnbreak My Heart” series is pretty decent too in regards to angst. Not as good as Shane and Kate’s story though. It did make me cry.

Also some good mentions: β€œHeartbreak at Roosevelt Ranch” by Elise Faber is an awesomely emotional book. Wife feels neglected and feels criticized for her looks by her husband (who is a detective). She finds a secondary phone and thinks her husband is cheating. Husband does some good groveling.

β€œThe Shameless” series by Meli Raine is awesome. It adds a bit of danger to the love story. H is bodyguard to h after a series of rather unfortunate events causes h life to be in danger due to being accused of certain crimes. The H loses trust in h and hates her but has to protect her until she is proven guilty.

The Rocchetti Dynasty trilogy by Bree Porter. Its a mafia book actually and he treats her like shit. He doesnt like at all.

Bound by Duty by Cora Reilly. This book has a lot of angst. It’s so good. Its a mafia book as well. This guy doest want to get married cause he’s still in love with his dead wife and he doesnt want or need another woman in his life, but in order to be the next Cabo, he needs to get married. And even he tries to be a decent husband to her, he is still so cold and rejects her all the time. So this unriquted love, arranged marriage and cruel hero kind of book

Cora Reilly also has another book ( Sweet Temptation) that is similar to Bound by Duty. Except he has three kids (one of them is a newborn) and he needs help to raise them and he also thinks they need a new mom, since his wife died recently. But he doesnt think this marriage is gonna work cause she’s only 18 yo, but the only real option avaiable. He doesnt want a wife, he just wants a new mom to his kids. It gets messy. Cora Reilly is an amazing author. Love her mafia books.

The elder one is going to be married to the MC but MC loves the younger sister who is quite an introvert compare to her elder sister. & the elder one’s having an affair with some old dude who works for them & lived with them & he is quite creepy. But the MC has to kill him because of his betrayal so in the end it shows that the elder sister is after blood of everyone because of her ‘lover’s’ death & also the younger sister also gets pregnant with her “supposed brother in law /now lover”.

Vlad by ker dukey matches your description. The second sister paints. She first ignores her attraction to the hero even though the hero kisses her and finger fucks her. But when she finds out her older sister having a affair with her older guard. She tries to make her sister understand to stop the affair. The sister says she will but doesn’t. Instead the sister openly flirts with a different guy and goes to see her older man at night. Getting scared the heroine plans to seduce the hero to keep him distracted. It works but the hero dad tries to get the heroine married to 70 yr old man . That’s when the older girl affair became obvious. Due to that and the dad pressuring the hero goes ape shit and tells everyone he’s been fucking the heroine and he’ll marry her. He even punches the old 70yr old man.

As a punishment in the end the older sister put into this fight game thing the mob does.

Your welcome, you did most of the work by describing the book so well. I’ve found lots of good books through this i can’t find this book section on Maryse blog. It just annoys me when people don’t describe the book with a lot of info or main important info. I hope you enjoy the read the second book is about the older sister in the series apparently there’s 3 books.

I’m not sure yet which one I’ll choose, The Perfect Marriage looks good!

I can't decide between that one or Adulting! Adulting might have actual romance in it! πŸ˜†
