The Spymaster's Lady Book

Why can't I select ZERO stars? Why, Goodreads? Tell me why!

WTF is the matter with this author?! We have an amazing heroine, in most respects. Paired with a hero that is fucking unforgivable. After saving their lives, he betrays her, treats her like a whore, and virtually threatens her with sexual assault on a constant basis.

Then, heroine helps them again. I don't know why. Personally, I would have left the bastards to fucking die. I would have been rubbing two sticks together to try and light them on fucking fire, frankly. But I guess she was trying to garner some goodwill, to improve her situation a little. Good fucking luck with that.

Anyway, she helps save the life of one of them AGAIN, and then the hero decides it is time to start dosing her with opiates.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!?

This is where I started skimming.

She comes on to him - STONED OUT OF HER MIND - and he happily takes advantage. With Adrian, whom I sort of liked up until this point (because he had been pressing Gray to lay the fuck off), encouraging him to go ahead and screw her while she's like that.

FUCK!

She continues to help, after the "hero" (yeah, I am being sarcastic. Fuck Gray.) SLAPS her out of the drug-induced haze he has been keeping her in (hey, I guess he prefers his women to just lie there drooling).

WTF is the matter with this author? How can anyone like this book? I can't even, really, like the heroine anymore, because I have ZERO respect for her. And frankly, if I kept reading to see her hook up with the hero once she, you know, recovers from her opium addition, fucking thank you very fucking much, I would probably instantly die of apoplexy.

Fuck this book. Arrrrrrrrggggggghhhh!!
