However, since the FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, Interpol, police, etc., were created, it should have been so much easier to deal with such a criminal. If this had been a historical novel, the premise would have been more plausible.and possibly acceptable.because back then, it was difficult to handle a blackmailer. They felt justified in how they handled their betrayals and didn't really seem to regret their choices from 7 years before. It sounds like there was no real remorse from either the MMC or the BFF. So both the MMC and the former BFF wanted to reconnect with the FMC and to both be forgiven for their riously?

However, his ex-wife demanded that he NOT share the entire truth with the heroine as she wanted to tell her side of the story herself. So, supposedly when pops died, that threat died with him, so the MMC divorced dear old wifey, took her daughter, whom he had chosen to adopt, and went in pursuit of his supposed life-long love, the heroine. Apparently, Vivienne (the so-called "BFF") had been preggers by another man, and not by the MMC, and her dear old dad forced the MMC to marry her, or he would expose his supposed criminal activities. (The ONLY reason he decided to pursue her again after 7 years apart? His father-in-law died and, with him, the reason he was "forced" to marry her BFF.

The MMC (No, I won't call him a hero) showed up 7 YEARS LATER in the town where the heroine lived.with a daughter in tow.with the purpose of winning her back. Now they were only a couple for just over a year (according to the blurb that was "one year, two months and eleven days. Now, from what I gathered, the MMC betrayed the FMC by marrying her (former) BFF and staying married to her for several long years. I also read the reviews that had 3-, 4-, and 5-star, but they were definitely outnumbered by the 1- and 2-star reviews. I'm giving this review based on the MANY one-star reviews that I read. NOTE: There WILL BE spoilers in this, so if you don't want to know about them, don't read any further.
