Ah, romance. When the hero stealth attack kisses the heroine out of nowhere, “taking from her before she had the wherewithal to refuse” and then has the audacity to refuse to take the blame for his actions.
So I removed myself from the book on her account.
This was only 50 pages in, and I was already not completely sold. I will endure a lot for a fake engagement trope, but the characters were ridiculous, and the plot was flimsy. Then this happened, and I was quite frankly happy to set it aside.
