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

By 73 Comments

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

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. 😀

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. read more

Hii Maryse!

Really need your help in finding the name of the book or the author.

So here it goes, it is a forced arranged marriage the hero does not want and neglects and ignores his wife and he goes back to his old life before marriage and cheats on her with women while the heroine is left in the countryside and having fed up she goes back to him for revenge after years and meets him in a ball (which is a masquerade ball I think). read more
