Kidnapping - ✓ Rape - ✓ Obsession - ✓ Threats of Physical Violence by Main Character - ✓ Stockholm Syndrome - ✓ Religious and Cultural Insensitivity - ✓ Overall Offensive - ✓
I had trouble with this from the get go, but I still pushed through in hopes that it would get better. It didn't. Whoever wrote this needs to do proper research. This isn't just stereotypical trash, it is beyond that. It is so offensive in SO many ways as well as just being poorly written. The ONLY thing that is good is the art itself. But that art is definitely NOT enough to save this POS from the slag heap. It is like the author went above and beyond in trying to insult an entire culture. Even Harlequin romances do not treat arab-based stories this poorly. And anyone familiar with Harlequin Romance knows that is saying A LOT.
