Night Smoke
I hate when authors suddenly reveal the tragic backstory of the abusive ML to somehow excuse the way they mistreated their partner. This man literally beat the shit out of the uke, stabbed him, acted all worried and then immediately raped the uke minutes after he woke from being in a 10-day coma due to his injuries. But oh we're just supposed to forgive him because his backstory is so sad? I'm just glad the uke is also not making excuses for him and flat out says his past doesn't make up for the bad things he's done. I just want him to get away from that abusive king...
