Hated him more that he was NOT SORRY HE DID IT. That shit just sits so wrong with me and I hated him. This fothermucker trapped a 21 year old girl into motherhood! He switched out her birth control pills, bringing them to her every morning like a good, doting boyfriend, all the the while knowing what he was doing. Look, you can't throw a content warning up ( which I never need btw, if I don't like something in a book I just skim right over it ) about being OTT and all alpha grrrr and then have him force a pregnancy on the girl, that's not what OTT alpha means. Well, scratch that for his fucking brother Huck! Ugh.

If you saw my review for book 1, you'll know I was crazily all over Beau and his OTT alphaness. Also her being referred to as a “sex toy” also did not sit right. This book perpetuates toxic relationships and makes them look “sexy” and “hot” when really the woman is trapped with no say and no power. The ending of the book resolved absolutely nothing and Huck gets away with being a lying and creepy douchebag.

Though I enjoyed book 1 and loved the couple - the extreme lack of communication and consideration for cora’s wishes made me extremely uncomfortable and the way Huck forced her to get pregnant without her knowing makes me want to report him for SA. If you’re the author and you see this I hope you know writing a relationship with a total lack of consent and communication is not ok. Yeah the possessive hot broody guy trope can be hot but in this case it is not. Cora constantly and consistently throughout the book tries to have free will or just have alone time but is denied that all because of tuck’s feelings. You can’t just become lesbian when it’s convenient for you and it shouldn’t be joked about. Also the random comments about her “becoming a lesbian” to escape men isn’t ok. Switching out birth control for placebos to purposely get your partner pregnant against their wishes is completely unforgivable yet Huck seems to have no qualms about doing that to the woman he so called “loves”. Their relationship can be described as toxic at best but boderline abusive at worst. Huck’s actions are disgusting and his lack of remorse for lying to his partner, taking away her conformed consent and not even allowing her to have an ounce of space is awful.
