So is REAL and none of those positive reviews even talk about the abuse in the book. As I was telling Teresa Medeiros on Faceback last week. There is a disturbing trend on Abusive Male Leads(I refuse to call them heroes) in these so called Romance books. It started with 50 Shades and it continues to get even worse. REAL was an eye opener for me on what some women (Mostly young girls) will overlook in a guy as long as he's sooooo hot.
There has always been a bad boy thing in Romance and I love reading Romances with Bad Boys but there is a line where the Bad Boy becomes an Evil Abuser. I think Travis from BD came very close to it but manage to stay on the right side of the line and I felt there was still hope for the guy to learn to control himself. I did not read Walking Disaster because I wanted to keep that Delusion. However It's all fiction so as long as people realize it's not okay to be with someone like that in real life then who I am to judge what someone reads but I am still disturb by how popular these books are and all the positive reviews.
