Where's Molly by H.D. Carlton
1.5
1.5 ⭐️
Spice: 🌶️.5/5
Format: ebook
This was, frankly, terrible.
I hated this for the same reason I hated the second book in the Cat and Mouse duet. Molly is a girl buried alive under decades of trauma, only for a man to take it upon himself to “fix” her. There is no reason a sexually abused woman cannot take back her sexuality, but Cage and book 2 Zade went about it in the wrong way completely.
Molly went to Cage for help. She needed to disappear. That was his job, what Legion intended for when he sent Molly to him. Cage decided he didn’t care about her very obvious discomfort and booked up all the nearby hotels so she was forced to stay with him. Even though Molly wanted to have sex with him that night, when she became anxious, he literally said to her, “You’ve survived much worse.” Like, 1) You’re admitting you know this poor girl has been through hell and you’re taking advantage of her, and 2) What does it matter if she’s been through worse? She’s still allowed to be scared of “less worse” experiences.
Then years later when they encounter each other again, he proceeds to disrespect every single one of her boundaries (which he had actually told her their first night together he wouldn’t do). He was constantly making her uncomfortable, scaring her, physically fighting and restraining her, and initiating sex on more than one occasion after she told him to stop. She naturally asked Legion to tell him to hit the road just for him to stalk her, physically overtake her again and threaten her if she tried to “run away” again. He’s literally the worst book “boyfriend” (I gag even using that word for him) I’ve ever read.
Literally the only things that made this read a 1.5 star instead of 1 were the relationship between Molly and Layla, and being able to see Rio and Zade again, and even a tiny mention of Adeline.
