Two stars because the first part I did enjoy it until she gets a manipulative and abusive b*tch I thought it would not be that much, but it is how she deals with his trauma, just plainly disgusting it's awful, not even saved by the happy ending it felt anachronistic. I know if the man will be the brutal many will not say anything but it is her I don't know I have a hard time reading in voyager THAT JAMIE scene and I'm struggling with this type of things in historical romances.
