Dry plot, unlikeable characters. The author makes every woman that interacts with the main character utterly obsessed with him. He has no redeeming qualities and is a creep. I can't believe I actually finished this book. Save your time and sanity and pass on this book.
There are a lot of rapey scenes in the book. The author tries to play the main character off as a good guy because he didnt sexually assault a woman after saving her from a traumatic experience. He tries to coerce women into sleeping with them repeatedly after they tell him no. Including the princess he saved from being taken hostage. This poor woman was hostage for weeks and he saves her, strips off her clothes because of hypothetmia and it turns into an awful sexual encounter that she said no to multiple times before being coerced into it. Let me stress that she was hostage for weeks and he goes on to describe her as smelling of lavender and citrus. I don't think I rolled my eyed more while reading any other book.
