Tell Me Lies by Claudia Dain

 

DNF @ p.32

Bodice-ripper reviews can be hard to gauge because I'm never sure if someone gave it a one star review because it was a bodice-ripper or because it was a bad bodice-ripper. Sadly, I probably should have paid heed to these. It started out good, with the captured heroine tied to the bow of the ship like a witch at the stake, but it goes downhill with the first sex scene, where the hero treats her like a whore.

The writing itself is actually pretty clean and not terrible, so I'm not sure it's a one-star read. I could probably struggle my way through it but life is short and I am bored.

2 out of 5 stars
