I liked this book at the start and was ready for some intrigue and internal conflict as our main character dealt with being a complete fish out of water, but we honestly didn't see much of that and what we did fell flat. To be fair to it, I think it may have been advertised to me as something it wasn't meant to be. There were some parts I liked, but the length and the parts that I didn't like made it a hard read.

The love interest does at one point physically beat the main character mostly off screen. This is forgiven and rationalized away.
