Mixed feelings on this one!
I can honestly say this story had many tropes that I hate and try to avoid as much as possible; this includes “traitorous” body, insta-love, forced pregnancy, etc. With this being said I still actually liked the story. I will admit I had to suspend some sense of reality when reading this, which I don’t like with this genre, because while they are all fiction, I still like them to be believable, otherwise I would read PNR or fantasy books. Spoilers…..
I just can’t believe that a normal woman and one who has apparently suffered some type of trauma at the hands of a man, would so readily accept this situation. She acted like she feared her life and that’s why she didn’t tell them immediately about her identity, but even after the truth came out, she still allowed him to use her as he pleased and other than a few tears, she accepted everything fairly easy. Like huh? 🧐 A stranger kidnaps you, sexual assaults you twice (before the wedding and the night of), rapes you, with you knowing his main intent is to get you pregnant and you don’t even try to escape the situation or prevent the pregnancy? Yes it’s futile, but in most cases like this the women immediately goes and try to wash/flush away as much semen as they can to reduce the odds of pregnancy. Instead this girl is upset that he doesn’t stay and hold her 🤨 Like seriously is your life that bad where you want to be knocked up by a strange man in which you don’t even know if he has any STD’s or other diseases. Not to mention you haven’t even tried to scope out the place for a potential escape or ask for an outing with the intent of sneaking off?
While there were time jumps, it still didn’t make sense how she started “falling” for him so quickly. Like it literally said for the first 3 weeks he only seen her at night, used her like brooding mare, and then left. So how is it then that a few weeks after that you develop all these feelings with so few meaningful encounters.
The stalking part also made no sense; You have a stalker, but you are a social media “influencer” posting your locations and details about your life. Wouldn’t that mean you are practically giving him all the information he needs to find you?
There is a mystery/suspense element to the story, especially with Jon, so I will continue with the series as I liked it, it just wasn’t very believable on many aspects.
