The Dark Queen by Susan Carroll

2.0

I expected this book to be very pro-women and pro-feminism. However, when in the first few chapters your main female protagonist is forcibly kissed by her suitor (whom she claims she doesn't want pursuing her) and she's gasping and whatever, then that reads more like a bodice-ripper than pro-women. Because clearly, she just doesn't know how amazing men are and has to be shown how much she wants love. Dislike. I couldn't continue.
