Okay, I'm almost finished and I just had one more rant before I did a review on my LJ. Honestly, if you do decide to read this DO NOT READ chapter 32. Seriously, DO NOT READ IT. It is the 'Rachel screws Pierce' chapter and, quite frankly, I don't think one can be prepared for the horror that follows.. or the hoops Harrison jumps through to make Pierce sympathetic/romantic enough to justify Rachel having sex with him.
I could handle the contrivance that has Rachel without Ivy and/or Jenks.. again. I could handle Pierce's woobie speech. I could even handle Pierce manhandling Rachel when she has a panic attack that could get them killed. What drove me over the edge was the bodice-ripping moment where Pierce basically forcing himself on Rachel so they can share warmth. And he wins. Rachel, the runner, who kicks ass for a living. It's like - dude, when a woman says she doesn't want you touching her, REPEATEDLY, doing it until she submits is not hot or romantic. It's creepy and revolting. Especially when it's done to a character like Rachel.. for the sake of making PIERCE LOOK HOT!!
GAH!! I swear, if I wasn't on the booze already, this series would drive me to drink!!
The last one.. I swear!!
