Amanda's Reviews > A Season of Ruin

I’m really sad to say that I couldn’t make it past chapter one of A Season of Ruin. In it, the hero mistakes the heroine for a paramour and doesn’t stop kissing her even when she tries to rebuff his advances. She ‘gives in’ eventually, but that is NOT the same thing as consenting. It got even worse when this gem of a thought passed through the hero’s brain:

“...the idea of overcoming her token resistance aroused him. He would make her open for him. He would coax her, render her so dizzy with passion she would have no choice but welcome him into her mouth.”

Eww. I also found some of the hero’s earlier thoughts regarding women equally as troubling.

Look, we all have our limits or breaking points and this evidently was mine as I couldn’t imagine reading any further. It’s a crying shame and maybe this book worked or will work for some but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.
