Way to put it, Anonymous. You really hit the nail on the head better than anyone else.
That's it! Exactly! I absolutely HATE that so many Harlequins ROMANTICISE RAPE! Like FLs are thinking "Gee, he RAPED me, but I like it!" And MLs thinking "Well, had I KNOWN she was a virgin, I WOULDN'T have raped her!" Like it is "okay" to rape NON-VIRGINS?!?!? That sh*t just pisses me off. And unlike some Harlequin's, thers is absolutely NO WAY that the scene in question in THIS book was anything BUT rape. 100% RAPE.
Shitty family, obssessive adopted grandfather and cousin, FL is a major pushover she should at least demanded compensation for the time she gave to them, 7 years is not a short time specially after abandoning school because the real relatives wouldn't take on the job of taking care of THEIR grandfather
Berating from other cousin, suspected as a liar from ML, cheating BF. I would have just given up and go start anew in another city
ALSO real rape here?!?!?! And she saying she enjoyed it?!? Her literal first time was rape.... Yo that's a man or a really blissifully ignorant woman writting this
