Look, I went in knowing that there was going to be a contentious issue so I shouldn't be surprised that I didn't like it. I decided to take a risk and not judge by other peoples opinions. Honestly, the "issue" wasn't even the reason I stopped. By the time I got there, I was done and it had just given me a good enough reason to say enough is enough.
I ABSOLUTELY HATED THE HEROINE!!
Such a self-absorbed, arrogant and manipulative character did not deserve to find happiness or contentment. The whole... I'm a witch, I will turn you into a toad if you annoy me... was really cringe-worthy and unbelievable. Then, I hated that she was purposely looking for a weak man to dominate because she couldn't have a man tell her what to do. Of course, the hero is too strong and virile, so she decides to use and abuse him...literally. Not at all the kind of heroine I'm looking for in my historical romance reads. Sure, I like my heroines to have a backbone but this was something else entirely.
Anyways, Scandal's Bride didn't work for me. Don't judge by my review alone, you may find that my issues are not your issues. If you're looking for spoilers, you won't have to try too hard, there are plenty to be found.
