"I tried to read this one. I failed. Which for me is very unusual: this however was just horribly written porn. Jane Austen it sure ain't!"

"Not a romance novel, but a really awful book about men, women, and romance.

"The romance in this was really rather boring and trite. Because of course, slavery isn't as important and dramatic as the two (white) lead characters' love affair. *retches*"

"Jane sees Tarzan and has a moment where she reverts to primordial womanhood and surrenders to his evident male and racial superiority. *retches* *retches some more*"

"TSTL female character? Check.

Plot that makes absolutely no sense? Check!

Ridiculous half-baked world building? Check!!

Don't bother, in other words."

"Yet *ANOTHER* book about a poor little female who needs to be rescued by a macho macho man... Nothing to see here, let's move along!"

"Not a romance novel per se, but it is yet another story (unsurprisingly written by a male author) where all the poor little female characters are awed by the male lead and his machismo/male allure. This extends to the (trite) 'romance' in this book. Yuck!"

3.77 avg rating — 478 ratings

"What do the two main characters have in common? I read this book and never did figure it out. And nothing much happens. (I could go on about how the main female character seemed to me to be somewhat mentally challenged, but it's probably not necessary at this point.)"

4.03 avg rating — 29,485 ratings

"Completely idiotic and contrived story. Again, why do the two main characters wind up together? I certainly had no idea (other than convenience, anyway)."

"Yet another romance novel where the main male character is actually abusive towards the woman he is supposedly in love with. How charming!"

3.46 avg rating — 961 ratings

"Again, what do these two characters have in common? I'm still wondering here..."

3.75 avg rating — 3,070 ratings

"Ugh. Another love story where there the reader is left with absolutely no sense of why the two main characters wind up together. And they both have TSTL moments. Yuck!"

"Yet ANOTHER book where women aren't people, but merely props/arm candy for the male characters. So the romance is utterly horrible: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."
