Yet another "honorable" and "disciplined" MMC who somehow just *can't help* but be the complete opposite towards the FMC. 🙄

"I've never forced a woman!" He says unironically, right before raping the heroine.

GOD why does romance have to be so misogynistic. This woman is cool af, yet we're supposed to be into her body betraying to this fucking loser. Oh, but he's so COMMMANDING and POWERFUL. And, as we all know, men can't control their sexual urges and REALLY it's A HUGE COMPLIMENT that he's so into her.

Why are people so shit at writing male romance leads who are even vaguely sympathetic?! This dude's ONLY problem is that the abused woman who was forced to marry him (or die) two weeks ago doesn't want to fuck him. Yet my takeaway from this apparently is supposed to be that she should be more grateful to him for saving her life and not casting out her son. JFC

I mostly like this book but I really can't stand John and the Amy-Rose/John relationship. Dude, PLEASE STOP intentionally catching the maid who lives in your house alone (so that you can kiss her, usually). It's so fucking creepy! and the way she swoons over him while he commits/risks nothing. Yuck.

I can't believe how shitty this dude is right outta the gate. Raging misogynist, "she should be grateful I'm marrying her," "I don't trust her but I can't wait to f--k her tonight even though she's been sick for the past five days and oh BTW I just killed her husband who she's a faithless bitch for betraying even though he was a traitor." Dude is a friggin MANCHILD.

I was a bit wary of this because I saw many complaints about the writing quality, but I like it. 🤷‍♀️ Four POVs is kind of a lot for me, but I like them all. The John/Amy-Rose relationship skeeves me out so much though, and I sense that they're endgame, alas.

Realizing that 3/4 of the 2025 M/F HRs I've read have FMC ostensibly a capable woman on some sort of mission paired with an MMC who is a condescending prick about it whines about her PUTTING HERSELF IN DANGER. I wish I could obliterate that phrase from the English language. But don't worry, they're totally equals. The book literally told me so. Did they all take the same writing class or something?

The drama, politics, action is really interesting. I'm a bit disappointed by the romance tho bc the relationship is so static.

LOVE. Great characters, great backdrop. I love the relationships between the sisters, this has been one of the best and most interesting HRs I've read for non-romantic f/f relationships.

The setup/plot is interestung & very good but the instalust is meh and sometimes creepy.

trying not to think about the FMC being 16 lol

Wow this book is *so* terrible. MMC is a parody of an alpha moron and I stg the FMC "lifts her chin ddefiantly" on every other page. I'm definitely going to finish it though lol.

Can't remember the last time I cried this much over a book.

not understanding the hate for Hattie, but when do I ever

I think if I ever read a male narrator doing a MMC with a Scottish accent, I may actually pass out. Also I 100% support Hattie being a bitch and Lucie is a real one.

so far this book feels like a warm blanket, but based on the reviews I think I should prepare for some emotional devastation

this MMC is an absolute dreamboat

this dude sucks. at least there were a few pages where he managed to not blame someone else for "making him" do something violent/abusive/etc

this book is mostly rape/abuse apology. I really wish she would just kill him.

VERY hot, I love both of them

Mostly it's just ok, but wow the "they're in love" sex was good.

I doubt I have the wherewithal to leave a review, but I looooved it.

bored. don't care about the couple and it's a lot longer than it needs to be.

This book is definitely unique and really good at times. Wish the MMC hadn't been so much of a stalker creep.
