A Burning Passion by Kathryn Shay (Hidden Cove Firefighters, Book 8)

I learned the hard way that Kathryn Shay books with an ex-wife in them has the very dumb "hero" always going back to their ex. Even though the ex was horrible, even when they blatantly cheat. And the "heroines" always take back these men because the love them so freaking much.

I put their title in quotes because they are zeros and doormats in my opinion. These men always put their exes first, and they explain it away with the many years they were together, their good memories and their shared children (if they have any). Like I would understand it if they don't make it seem to the new women in their lives that they want something serious, but the problem is they say they are hurt and want to take things slow.

If she had an epilogue like the one I read similar to this one, it comes off as unbelievable. Her books start off good and then towards the end they just turn into something completely the opposite of what the beginning is promising.
