Query: Hero is SO dim

This is by far my least favorite of the Mary Balogh's books. I'm glad that it is a reprint of an older edition or I'd be wondering if she's losing her touch. The hero is truly dim, and the words he say to the heroine are always hurtful and appallingly repetitve, "You are a good girl... You have pleased me..." over and over again. The problem I have with the book is not simply that the hero is weak, but that there is nothing convincing me whatsoever of why the heroine would fall in love with him. He has almost no redeeming quality. He is not bright, nor handsome, nor good in bed. And when the heroine decides to leave him, it is not really clear why she did not tell him the real reason behind her leaving. I expect more of Mary Balogh's books, more from a heroine who could have so much more but settled for so much less. The whole story of her turning to prostitution is sordid and not a good excuse at all. So unlike all the other MB books, I don't think I'll be rereading this.
