I will not be continuing this series.
It was appallingly bad, especially the characters that, despite people’s belief, the main male character us absolutely not a morally grey character. The term is very beloved in book communities (BookTok, BookTube, ecc.) and it’s often misinterpreted by readers. But, just because the author explains why a character acts as heinously as they do, that still doesn’t give them a right to continue acting heinously and doesn’t make them morally grey. It just makes them an asshole.
I don’t want this to become long winded, so, I would just recommend skipping the Hathaway’s series as it’s not Kleypas’ strongest writing.
