For years, I’ve heard great things about Jay Crownover’s books. Everyone
\n in the romance book community talks about how incredible the books are.
\n I decided recently that I wanted to try to binge read her books because
\n I own quite a few of them. A friend recommended that I start with
\nBetter When He’s Bad, the first book in the Welcome to the Point series.
\n Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nstart with what I didn’t like about Better When He’s Bad. There are so
\nmany things. First of all, Dovie and Bax have such a toxic relationship.
\n It’s incredibly problematic. There’s a certain sex scene that sticks
\nout in my mind just because of how much it bothered me. There was no
\nregard for consent whatsoever. Dovie tells Bax no multiple times, and he
\n continues anyways. It just left me with an icky, gross, uncomfortable
\nfeeling as I was reading it. In addition to that, Bax was also extremely
\n emotionally and mentally abusive. He was controlling about where Dovie
\nwent, and who she spent time. It set off red flags for abusive signals
\nin my mind. I thought that Dovie could do so much better than Bax. In
\nfact, I was rooting for them not to be together because her being alone
\nwould have been better than having to endure that abusive behavior. <\/p>\n
\n I didn’t like Better When He’s Bad. Dovie and Bax’s extremely toxic
\nrelationship made me severely uncomfortable the whole time I was
\nreading. In my opinion, Bax was emotionally, mentally, and physically
\nabusive to Dovie. I do plan on giving other books of Jay Crownover’s a
\nchance because I own a lot of them, and don’t like to form opinions on
\nwhether I like an author’s writing based on one book. However, I won’t
\nbe continuing the Welcome to the Point series. I own most of the books
\nin her Marked Men series and I’ve heard it’s a lot tamer, so I think
\nI’ll try that next.\u00a0\u00a0

\nI give Better When He’s Bad: 2\/5.<\/span><\/b>
