Started off so good….
I usually read books with virgin heroes but since the mmc has been celibate for 10 years since he was in prison, I let it pass.
Story moves on and we find out the hero is an actual rapist😐 What is romantic about that??
“I’ve fucked women when they didn’t want it. I’ve fucked women who couldn’t tell me they didn’t want it.”
“Remember when I said I fucked women who couldn’t consent? If you think being asleep deters me, it doesn’t.”
I love dark romance but there’s always a line to be drawn. Mine is usually when there is OW drama but i just discovered the biggest no-no is when the hero raped someone.
And another ick is when he gets excited she has only been with one person sexually before (her abusive husband) not a fan of that trope when he’s been around and all.
Oh and he treats her like shit. I’ve read kidnapping romances but even they treat their women better than the hero in this book did. He slapped the heroine😐 did he seriously not even think about her abusive husband and how that might bother her?!
I would love to read another hitchhiker romance but please for the love of god don’t make the hero a rapist. It’s disgusting.

I’m so glad she changed it too! It was an interesting read, I just couldn’t get over the fact the Hero did those things to other women in his past. If the lines are removed, I might see if I can give this book another try!
Yes! I mean… he/they kill innocents so that bothered me, but I was about to 1 or 2 star it when I read your review last night. I think I was like at 70% when I clicked on your review and I was like 😳😳😳😭😭😭 noooo! I kept waiting for the mention of him raping women to come up but it never does! Only that he’s a killer 😬
I looked up these words: raped, rapist, rape, consent, women, and the quotes from your review and nothing! The word “women” only appears once 🙏🏻 lol
I thought maybe I read it too fast and missed it
I just finished this and I can’t find these lines. I’m so glad she changed it
