Yeah, no.

Listen, the premise is amazing – I was intrigued. The issue, however, is that the characters aren't really that likable. Idk, it isn't what I expected. I was looking for an RH with a strong main character who doesn't let men SHE JUST MET BTW dictate/control everything she does. She is a bit too accepting of what they say/do without asking questions–and when she DOES ask, they say "you don't need to know" and she just accepts it. I am really not a fan of the whole "we won't tell you the truth for your own good/safety" trope/plot point because it ends up backfiring anyway.
This was my second read and I can't remember how I got 3 books into the series before I stopped 2 years ago.
