Rebellious Desire by Julie Garwood

2.0

This book was complicated. It started off promising enough with the characters somewhat interesting and just enough mystery going on in the background, but it seemed like every page was just dripping with weird toxic masculinity. Every single time the male lead has a thought, it’s to comment that of course he wouldn’t trust, respect, or value the main woman’s feelings. I cringed a lot. And the mystery ended up being an extremely anti climatic reveal, and then wrapped up in only two pages. NOT TO MENTION the last line of the book is one of the worst and least memorable I’ve ever read.
