TW: Sexual assault

This a historical fiction romance with some cool cultural pieces in it...abd there are Scottish men in it. Sounds EXACTLY like my type of book, but I was so disappointed and totally disgusted by this one. There is such a thing as historical context and society being governed by different rules, but this totally passes boundaries of what is okay at all.

There is basically no consent in this book. Ever. The time traveling does not really make sense. Most of the characters are pretty unlikable because they treat each other so poorly. The relationship dynamics are soooo bad. I eventually had to stop reading this book about 50% through when Jamie raped his wife (again) as a punishment. Eww. I do NOT recommend this one.
