Verity

Lowen Ashleigh is hired as a ghost writer for an author, Verity Crawford, who is convalescing after a devastating accident. She moves into the Crawford home and while going through Verity's office discovers a journal. Lowen is disturbed and horrified by the journal but she just can't stop reading.
Unpopular opinion here. I found the story improbable and was annoyed yet again with the author's ideas about sex and romance and consent. Two of the characters are talking about sex and the woman asks how many partners the man has had. Then he asks her and she says "two, I'm not a whore like you." There's also a comment about how women don't (can't?) enjoy sex as much as the journal claims and do it to make their men happy (or something like that, I unfortunately didn't bookmark the quote.) I find this line of thought on female sexuality counterproductive and don't want it in my literature.
I have one more book by Colleen Hoover on my kindle and I suppose I will at least give it a try but I'm not expecting much.
