Except his problems have only just begun when he finds himself falling in love with a wife who is anything but biddable.

Didn't like this story

I didn't enjoy this book. The male protagonist was very unlikeable. He had few redeeming qualities. Yes he had a previous bad experience but he let it affect his relationships too long. He was rude, mean and neglectful. It permeated the story throughout the chapters. A woman with problems, a neglected child and a half wit sheep farmer.
