The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee

DID NOT FINISH: 62%

---

I didn’t enjoy reading a woman somehow fall in love with a man that bullies and belittles her. DNFd after the first time they got intimate.. you know where Dacre was belligerently drunk, forced her alone from the group as part of an agreement for him to stop drinking, then as she is trying to get away from him he holds her behind and touches her??? But don’t worry, she’s sort of into it, but only in her head and the book is explicit in saying she hated herself for it. 

This book did not spark me joy
