No Man of Her Own
I saw the author's name and had to try to read it to see if she was actually capable of writing a decent story. I had read several of the actual novels in the past that my mother owned and didn't care for them. After this one, I have decided that the author's fantasy world is definitely an unhealthy one, peopled with characters that are more cliche than human. As for the writing, it reads more like Daphne du Maurier fan fiction written by an adolescent.
September Morning
Art was great, but after two chapters the domineering, hypocritical asshole of a male lead was so toxic I couldn't read anymore. What on God's green earth is so sexy about men who should have been drowned at birth?
Games For Sophisticates
The brother is a spineless douchebag who treats his wife with no respect whatsoever. He's also asking his sister to play the slut. He deserves neither kindness nor respect. The ML is a pushy idiot.
The Reluctant Queen
What an asshole. One minute he's going all lovey dovey on her and the next he's talking to someone else about how his throne (actually hers; he's the consort) is all that matters. He threatens to have her mother executed, knowing full well that she wasn't guilty of anything, and keeps his "beloved" in the dark all the time. Very badly written.
