acreatureofbooksandtea's review

Rating: ★

The complete lack of consent and denial of Liam’s agency and feelings was appalling. And using excuses like cultural differences—especially when the love interest, Ondry, refuses to actually explain those cultural differences/practices—just feels like a lazy way to shoehorn BDSM into the story.
