"However, you chose to take advantage of that and cut me off from the world."

So... is this abuse?

“You’re going to have to force me, because I’m not going to do this willingly.”

“Leave me alone. You got what you wanted. The rest of it shouldn’t matter.”

So... there's unexpected non-con in this.

"She hated that he spoke the truth. “You used me.”"
"“You let yourself be used. You welcomed me into your bed.”"

Reading this is like a trainwreck the more I read.

"'It’s not in your nature to be a petty female. You are usually so reasonable. Tell me?”'

What is this writing?

“'You were never occupied by the British,' Dora said..."

Occupied? That's a nicer way of saving invaded or colonized. This book feels very dated but goodreads said it was first published in 2000. Is 2000 dated now? Actually, it probably is. This edition was published in 2017 but I guess they only changed the cover.

Ok, this insta-love followed by a smut scene is not doing it for me.
