Man, I  had flashbacks to Twisted Hate reading this book! It was a thrill ride! There is so much fire in this story! There are a lot of triggers in this book. The women are called old ladies and there is a lot of sexism throughout the story.

trisarahjtops's review against another edition

Got to 31% and realized I didn't particularly care about the characters. One or both of them probably could have died and it would have made the story more interesting.

Not a huge fan of the

virgin  trope and the mentions of the MFC being unable to get pregnant just made me think she was going to have a miracle surprise pregnancy (also not a fan of this trope).

The MMC comes across as very vulgar in a non-sexy way and the FMC seems a little flaky when she

can't seem to decide whether she should plan to run away or stay and just enjoy this newfound "freedom" as an apparent prisoner.

 

I went in looking for a trashy romance (in a good way, of course) but I just couldn't get into this one. It had promise but the execution wasn't there for me.

I did not like this book. Almost DNF. The characters were not interesting and the abuse and asshole ratio was way too high and never balanced out. Saying “I love you” in the last page does not make up for being a misogynistic dick.
