sneakyfoxeh 's review for:

The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory
1.0

TW: abuse

Yeah, I had to shelve this one.

The beginning sex scene was awful and completely unnecessary. "I have to say goodbye to you, so let's do it two more times". I used to love Philippa Gregory's novels but now they seem a little raunchy for me.

Then, there's the abuse scene which is completely unnecessary. Why would anyone want to read about a wife getting whipped and then beaten? Even though I am past my ptsd, the last thing that I would ever want to read is a woman getting beaten and whipped.

Should I even bother with the rest of this series?
