A review by jordanriley
The Duke and the Lady in Red by Lorraine Heath
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
I gave up on this book when it became clear that the ableism was not just a passing comment or two. I felt gross reading it and skipped to the epilogue to make sure there wasn't going to be a redeeming plot twist that kept it from going where I thought it was... nope.
Spoiler
Her brother is treated like an object of pity and is a stereotype of the innocent disabled person who never complains and just serves to inspire the able-bodied people around him (through his pain and death, of course).
