even when we get a chapter from his perspective, it's evident he feels nothing for the heroine besides a vague physical interest in her. They never speak to each other, Kaleb isn't even in like half the book, he rapes her like it's going out of fashion. Simply, the heroine has sex with three men, and then arbitrarily decides to fall in love with one of them over the other.
HE SPITS ON HER, he slaps her, he throws food at her. But he doesn't give a crap about the heroine. If the author balanced this by showing us moments where he CARED about the heroine, I could have possibly tolerated it I have a high threshold for dark heroes. He doesn't speak because of a 'childhood trauma', he does nothing but rape the heroine until she's convinced she likes it, and finally throws her birth control pills into the bin. Just trust me on this, as someone who usually loves psychopathic heroes (I gave 5 stars to The Silver Devil and I like Addison Cain, for f*ck's sake) he leaves them in the dust. Just take my word for it that the relationship dynamics are handled badly and illogically. I just don't understand it, but I can't really explain. But then at random moments, the lust comes back.
