Broken Bonds by J. Bree

1.0

Genuinely aghast that nearly 30k people have rated this an average of 4.3 stars. Kept reading despite how annoying the protagonist was (I swear like a sailor, and even I was exhausted within a couple chapters), thinking something even remotely sexy would happen, but now I’m not even sure the author understands what constitutes rape, let alone her own relentless internalized misogyny. A bunch of tropes thrown together, and for what? Horrifyingly unacknowledged abuse dynamics with literally zero payoff. And no copyediting whatsoever? I played myself.
