Bad, Cate. Bad.
I don’t even know what I’ve just read, but it’s truly awful. Both the MCs absolutely suck and I don’t know what either sees in the other outside of their shared love for rough sex?! All the whining and whinging, and not communicating with one another…I haven’t read any harlequins from the 80s so can’t speak to this supposed influence, but all I can say is that I really, really did not like it.
