Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The author takes pages upon pages to go through her heroine being sexually assaulted by the book's "hero." He attacks her, knocks the weapon she is trying to use to defend herself out of her hand, refuses to let go of her while she repeatedly tells him to get out of her room, and then proceeds to kiss her despite her vehement protests (all the while claiming that he doesn't force himself on women!). The fact that she has some internal doubts about saying no is irrelevant to the fact that he ignores her explicit refusals. In other books of this type that I've read, an encounter of dubious consent occurs after a certain amount of buildup where the characters involved have had previous interactions, and one can sorta go along with it, but this just reads like attempted rape to me. I kept skipping pages waiting for the scene to be over but it just goes on and on and the heroine keeps worrying about how she'll keep her violent brother from beating her attacker up (um, WHY?) and I just decided to put the book down rather than continue reading something so un-fun. I presume it gets better, given the number of high reviews, but as a character intro this just put the "hero" into too much of an appeal deficit for me to want him to be happy.
