Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
FMC (Victoria): 3.75 (stand up, girl! I admired her for doing what needed to be done in marrying first McLain and then Jake, but after the HIT her in the face she should have made him dig his own grave)
MMC (Jake): 2 (major POS, cares way more about the range and revenge than he does about Victoria. Even in the end. Also, he sleeps with another woman after meeting her 😡)
💕: 2 (painful honestly - he basically forces himself on her twice. First, when they get married and then when she won’t forgive him for slapping her and accusing her of lying about their baby. They have nothing in common. Her only personality trait is being a lady and his is being an ass)
Plot: 2.5 (completely bonkers in a bad way. Why did Emma and Celia need lovers? Why did two on-page assaults need to happen? Why did Angelina, the stereotypical “whore” have to die? Why did Celia - who was 16 sleeping with a 22 year old man - need to be killed by a horse?)
🌶️: 3 (super icky noncon throughout )
Writing: 3
