A review by mrsautery
The Velvet Promise by Jude Deveraux

1.0

I cannot endorse a book that condones rape and abuse. There is no way in hell that a person would have that much “passion” and “lust” and eventually love for their rapist. Not unless there is brainwashing involved anyway. Completely ridiculous book. I finished the book because I was told to trust the process and the book is about a feminist who holds her own, and that the book is about the strength of a woman. Heck no. Nothing strong about falling in love with your rapist/abuser. I don’t care if this book is written about “a different time period”....no. Just no. The man is a complete douche bag.
