Meghan March is an auto buy for me always and she didn't disappoint with this book. Also, Mount’s voice sounded weak for the character he was playing. I’ve enjoyed other books this author has written but this one feels like it has crossed the line from control to downright abuse but finding ways to justify this abuse. I’m angered at the message this sends to male readers permitting them to take what they want because she will eventually like it. I’m angered at the book implying a woman isnt raped if she eventually enjoys the sex act after being kidnapped and forced to do things she would never had agreed to. Then she is slowly missing him even though she can’t stand him.

The fact that he kidnaps her and controls her every move doesn’t occur to him as being abusive.

He torments her sexually but still not by choice and when she is on the brink of being defeated and screams for him to just do it (e.g., to get it over with and get her release) Mount thinks he’s not raping her because she begs for it. Mount coerces her to have sex with him to pay off her deceased’s husbands debt and threatens if she doesn’t people she cares for will die. However, although that is annoying about this book that’s not what angers me. This made me angry and didn’t really end - have to buy next in series to find out conclusionīook ends on a cliffhanger and definitely not s standalone book.
