I did not like the portrayal of women in the book. I can suspend disbelief enough when reading a RH book to accept that all the male characters find the heroine attractive, but I seriously dislike the degradation of other female characters in the heroine's favour. Every other female character is described as either being brainless and slutty or being a gold-digger. The only woman that the male characters respect is a curmudgeonly older woman, Mrs Crane, and she is evidently only respected because she acts in a more masculine manner and because she's older and unattractive.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book on the whole and found it engaging enough to read it quickly. The dark romance aspect is well-done, but would recommend that people check out the trigger warnings.
