Rose in Chains
by Julie Soto
Julie Soto has a way of making me feel what her characters are feeling and empathizing with them and their predicaments even if I don’t actually like the characters. She also writes spicy scenes very well. I’ve enjoyed everything else I’ve read by her and this fits that bill. It’s not perfect. I wasn’t in a headspace to enjoy another story of a male-led world where women are subjugated and oppressed. That’s on me, not the author. I really had a hard time stomaching all the virginity = purity talk. I understand it was the bad guys doing it, but I was just so over it :D I understand this story was inspired by other author’s work and originally a fan fiction, but honestly that had zero bearing on the enjoyment or understanding of this story. I think the publishers did J. Soto a disservice by marketing it so heavily as a fan fiction.
