The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1)

Couldn't finish it. I threw in the towel when the protagonist raped the heroine and acted like he was doing her a favor. Authors need to find a way to get their characters together in historical setting where women are sexually restricted other than rape. Its lazy and distasteful to use the tired "she had no choice so she might as well enjoy it." Wonder why I'm the only one offended by this kind of thing?
Too bad. It had a lot of potential. The "hero" was just too unappealing for me.

I feel the same way and I was horrified while looking up reviews of the book that nobody seems to care that she was raped. I just got to that part of the story and I feel so conflicted because I really enjoy everything else about the book.
