Infuriating. I started reading these to see how romance was portrayed in the trashiest of romance formats, and boy was I surprised in the worst way. Catherine, the main character, is assaulted and manipulated by her hero, Luke, at every turn. There is a recurring theme in these where the heroine is at once repulsed and attracted to the man toxically pursuing her. Perhaps she is repulsed because he is sexually assaulting her. A necessary realization that that is what is happening is far more than can be asked. It turns out that Luke has been manipulating her for business purposes, he was essentially a paid actor who was told to get in her way. And he had feelings for her the entire time. He had to be atrocious to her because that was his job. Catherine goes to his mansion in England and they talk about it and she agrees to get engaged to him that very day. Horrifying!
