Alice's Reviews > Stay With Me

So, hear me out - I knew I wouldn't like this book based on the premise but I really like this world and I was bored tonight so I picked it up. There were things I liked ... but overwhelmingly this book is just infuriating. Not only do we apparently live in the 1800s were women don't have options (well, to be fair that is horrifyingly accurate for the US these days) but she also actually doesn't find out she's pregnant until 70% into this book!!! I kept thinking I've missed something. Having said that, obviously the last third is just lightening speed and everything is just GREAT. YAY! Ugh. Call me a hater but ffs what will it take for romance authors to actually have some balls for once?? I'm sick and tired of these pregnant-by-the-ex anti-choice tropes. Also, I don't get why the graphic prologue was necessary? Didn't really add anything to the story imo.
