Yikes, this is a DNF for me.

I don't really like the direction this story is taking - kidnapping plots are one of my least favorite storylines ever, especially with this weird sexual twist going on. The evil prince needs to conceive a child with Ivy, but even though it needs to be consensual for the ritual to work he's still constantly threatening to force himself on her and it just makes me cringe.

I don't like reading this and I'm not invested in the characters enough to care about what happens next so this is the end of the road for me.

Mrinmayi Why do authors think it's ok to add dub con in the stories😑

Idk, it's such a grey area and generally something I don't like! I guess some people that are into it though 😳

Idk, I know dubcon is a sub-genre though so I guess there's some people out there that like it, just not me! 🤷‍♀️ And yes, hopefully - thanks Nayeli 💕
