Hero by Lauren Rowe
Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.
I like spice to my books, but this felt like too much for how slowly the plot was coming along. I contemplated ending sooner because I felt like the characters’ answers to deeply rooted trauma was some form of sexual conduct, and I was getting annoyed. Yes the MC was seeing a therapist, but there was more about how he could watch her pleasure herself than how they really worked out their fears and difficulties. I left it on a happy note where it felt natural to do so. The ending could have gone a couple of different ways, but I feared whatever the main challenge was going to be was going to be answered with more “f@!#ing” and I just wasn’t feeling it.
