A review by gabrielle_erin
Bound by Hatred by Cora Reilly

2.0

Back at it with the shitty erotica - I will admit, at least this one displayed some level of plot that has been clearly outlined and is semi-interesting. HOWEVER, the complete unecessary emphasis on the outfit's protocols such as viewing women as property, labelling them 'dirty' after sex and the unecessary sexual, physical and domestic violence against them was just so off-putting. I understand the use of such things as a plot device or characterisation, but it was handled completely wrong. Disappointing to see such ideals perpetuated by a female author. Only gave 2 stars because enemies to lovers is my favourite trope (although the tension, characterisation and chemistry between the main couple was essentially non-existent and entirely forced). Don't think I can handle the next book...
