Beyond Measures by Kimberly Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
Call me weird or whatever, but I just do not find it attractive when men call women out their name in these romance books… I don’t care if he wouldn’t call HIS woman out her name, the fact that he’s so comfortable referring to women this way is not cute to me.
An actual quote from the male love interest: “I wasn’t a saint, but I knew how to treat a woman, and I used that term loosely. There were bitches I fucked ’cause I needed my dick wet, but a female that got to call herself my woman got shit those bitches never would.”
I was so excited for this one and I can tell that the book was good & that I would’ve really enjoyed it if the male mc didn’t talk about women like this. And this wasn’t even his first time speaking disrespectfully about women. That’s just not something I personally wanna read.
