Everything and the Moon by Julia Quinn
1.0
Love at first sight or abuse?
I usually love Julia Quinn novels but this one was too much. The beginning was mostly sweet. But after they have their falling out the main man’s behavior becomes atrocious. He acts as though he owns her. He does whatever he wants and justifies it by saying it is out of love. He stalks her, kisses her when she asks him not to and then kidnaps her! Just because she once loved him did not give him permission to continuously go against her wishes and pursue her. She explicitly asks him to stop and he does not. When she does fall in love it’s because he protects her from dangerous situations that he got her into in the first place!
I am all for a love story and a couple stolen kisses but this went to far for me.
