A review by jesuismoi
Badd Motherf*cker by Jasinda Wilder
Did not finish book.
I couldn’t finish this book.
Book should have a trigger warning!!
When The heronine took out a Navy SEAL with a kick to the groin (bc evidently, SEALs don’t ever see that coming?), I realized there were too many issues and stopped.
This book normalizes rape. Getting blackout drunk does not mean maybe you will “wake up with a sore ———-,” because someone “took advantage” of you. That’s called rape. If you can’t and don’t give consent, and actually give specific denial... and someone “has his way with you” while you are passed out, it’s rape.
It’s not normal, it’s not actually sexy, and it doesn’t turn the male lead into a hero that he has to try REALLY HARD not to rape the heroine.
And that was still bothering me when I hit the bit about the SEAL, and I deleted (Kindle).
The situation is spoiled by the book cover, so not marking as spoilers.
