I had a similar problem with a different series of books (my friend was put off by the apparently callous hero...more fool her) which I solved by giving her the last and most romantic of the series.
If your friend is tough enough to start at the end and work backwards, you might try that; it seemed to work all right for my friend, who is now a pretty big fan of this other series. Sometimes the more squeamish need a good reason to root for the apparently mean people. ;)
