A review by lillian_francis
Beggars and Choosers by Mia Kerick
I'm not going to rate this. I was enjoying the slow burn of the relationship and the gentle pace of the story (I'd even got used to Brett's pattern of speech) until the last quarter of the story.
If you don't want to be spoiled don't read any further. I wished I'd been spoiled, though. At the last quarter mark Cory is sexually assaulted, some have called it near-rape, I would say it was rape. It was more graphic than I was comfortable reading. And after that point I struggled to enjoy the story. Had I known of that scene I doubt if I would have read the book at all. Some have said that they drove off into the sunset to get their HEA but I don't think it is possible for either of them without a huge dose of therapy. Plus there were hints that things weren't finished with regard to the rapist.
I will say that I loved the character of Brett even if he did make me scream at my Kindle at times.
