2.5
Bad old-school romance full of rape, gaslighting, kidnapping, imprisonment, torture porn, and racism. Tries to dance around one character owning a plantation - slaves are referred to as "tenants." Negative slurs about indigenous Americans.
Heroine is a complete fool who spends the whole book running into danger as she repeatedly tries to escape the men trying to rape her. The men spend most of the book gaslighting her. Her clothes get ripped off a lot, if you're into humiliation.
