I don’t think I’ve ever eye-rolled at a book this much, but the sheer number of times a woman was referred to as ‘sexy’ and her nipples described in detail just to service the male characters’ horniness was honestly funny. Often it’s an enjoyable step back in time, but by the end of the book I was finishing it more out of duty than out of enjoyment.
