Snapshot scene: A woman has a horrible breakup with her boyfriend after he (view spoiler)[coaxes her into having penetrative sex because he thinks she - the woman he loves is and who he knows loves him (per the previous chapter) - has suddenly become some vixen who only wants to give amazing blowjobs and not accept the magic wang in all its glory into her woman cave or I don't even know, what the hell is this plot point about? (Other than "it's time for sexual conflict because everything else is magically glorious!" and she must be the one to tame the dickish "hero" because she's a virgin!) (hide spoiler)] and she packs up her car and heads off for a week of emotional healing, telling him they're through and she never wants to see him again. 
 *cue ominous music* 
 Sobbing, she drives and drives and finally stops for food she can barely eat when.... 
 Duh duh DUN! 
 A man who has been hiding underneath a blanket in the back seat of the car reveals himself by grabbing her wrist! He proceeds to take her to the isolated cabin on a private beach she's heading for, (despite her begging him not to) after forcing her to hand over her car keys. When they arrive, he takes her cell phone and keys and hides them away despite her tearful pleas for him to leave or let her leave. 
 Romantic, right? 
 Yeah, not so much. 
 I didn't like this book. There's my review and you can stop here if you want (although heaven knows my ire is going to make me write a bit more). 
 I've reached a saturation point with heroes who exhibit behaviors that, in the real world, would get them arrested or cause most women to avoid them like the plague. This goes beyond bad behaviors made right by a really good grovel scene and is prodding at a recent development in my reading life where I'm far more conscious of what gets normalized in fiction that we struggle against in our real lives. 
 OK, so yes, this is a cute and humorous and fun little book (in theory) with a heroine whose life has been made hell by her neighbor breaking her windows, paint-balling her laundry, littering on her lawn, peeing on a tree in his yard, having loud parties with naked people climbing her fence to use her pool, and making her professional life (they teach together) awful by stealing her school supplies and avoiding work that she has to pick up. She's been emotionally stunted by a family who measures worth in flat chests (I'm not kidding) and whether you're a doctor or a lawyer or not. When she's finally had enough of her neighbor's shenanigans because he's tearing out flower bulbs she planted that were her grandmother's, she gets a spine and suddenly they fall in love. 
 I've read my share of books with asshole heroes or non-con themes. I've often rated them higher and I believe our reading lives can be our fantasy lives and don't have to adhere to the way we want and deserve to be treated in our external life. The main difference is that within those books there's true acknowledgement that some of the things happening are problematic or wrong and the mores of the surrounding world or characters clearly acknowledge that fact. But when your romance hero's behaviors are laughed off by everyone in the book, considered symptomatic of true love, and they include the above behavior that was so bad the heroine tried to sell the house she loved and he: 
 Intercepts potential dates while they're just friends and does things like imply the heroine is mentally unbalanced (possibly damaging her reputation). 
 Punches or threatens to punch other men who look at his girlfriend. (Possessiveness and violence are hot, yo.) 
 Feels free to take however much of her food he wants from her plate or that she bought at a coffee shop and diverts food she made as gifts for other people and eats it himself. 
 Hides in her car when she's clearly stated she's done with him and wants to go off on her own and refuses to leave or let her leave him, removing all means she has of communication or escape. 
 Ignores the word "no" more times than I can count. 
 That's not romantic. Those are not the actions of a "hero" or of someone who loves you. That's an asshole exhibiting dangerous behaviors.
