A review by xandra_lyn
The Thanksgiving Scrooge: A Good with Numbers Holiday Novella by Rose Bak

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
This was an enemies to lovers trope, which I hate. If I'd known going in, I wouldn't have picked it up. That being said, i have read enemies to lovers before, and none of them have been as awful as this. 

Lana explicitly says she thinks Ian is arrogant and wants to punch him every time she sees him. She's attracted to him, but actively avoids him because she thinks he's a jerk. But Ian forces her into a kiss twice and then shows up early in the morning at her house. I stopped reading at that point, but throughout the book, she epeatedly tells him verbally and non-verbally (i.e. ignoring him) that she doesn't want to be around him. 

I just found it so offensive that a woman repeatedly says and implies no, but the man forces it, and it's billed as a "romance." That's not romance, it's assault.
