Ok. So I've started listening to this and I'm not sure I'll even finish it. It's not the reader, who seems adequate, it's the story. Before the end of the first CD I just wanted to gag.

Really. Would someone tell me how on earth anyone can like Ethan and consider him the romantic interest in this........romance. Why on earth would anyone want him. And his mother! All self-righteous. Why didn't she knock him upside the head and tell him off for his behavior. And what was with the main character (can't remember her name right now)? She KNOWS that Ethan is to blame for most of what happened, but by the end of the first disc she's willing to shoulder most of the blame.

So. She's a teen and he's in college when he seduces her, then publicly humiliates her. She leaves town, finds out she's pregnant, and goes back to tell him, finds him in bed with someone else (which, according to him doesn't matter because he was young, doesn't really remember anymore, is she really going to hold something that happened so long ago against him....) so she leaves without telling him. 5 or so years later she is back in town to tell him again. But he isn't in town. His wife (who you soon find out he married because--yes, he got her pregnant) doesn't tell him, but apparently writes a letter as if it is from him. But that's not suppose to matter either. Instead you get to listen to him constantly excusing himself and blaming her. And she seems to spend a lot of time pretty much buying into accepting the blame.

UUGGGG. And she's suppose to end up wanting the jerk?!? Really?
