In the romance community, there is nothing more beloved than a man who realizes he has messed up and spends the rest of the book groveling. Rhett Eaton is a masterclass in this. He falls for Summer hard and fast. Unlike many romances where the woman is chasing the man’s approval, Rhett is begging for Summer’s attention. VK reviewers often cite Chapter 25 (the "belt" scene) and the grand gesture at the end as "untouchable" moments in modern romance.
