I am really sad to DNF this but it just wasn't working for me. I just can't get past Ryam's constant inner dialogue about how he's 'suppressing his masculine urges' .... like I get he's horny for her (has been immediately since the beginning) but urge to what? It took him saying something along the lines of 'a man can only take so much' for me to be like: is he implying that he could SA her if he wanted?

I think I would attempt another book by this author because in theory I love the setting, time period, a badass FMC who wields swords!! just this one wasn't for me :(
