An Arranged Marriage by Jo Beverley

4.0

I like this book. I really do. But only because I liked the hero and the heroine and their relationship. But I feel uncomfortable with my enjoyment of the book because of the rape at the beginning. The first time I picked up this book, I couldn't even get past the beginning. Especially because of the gaslighting. The second time around, I skimmed over this part and liked the rest of the book. I do not understand why rape/assault/abuse is so often a theme in Jo Beverley's book. There are much better plot devices out there for romance novels.
