The Princess Trap (by Talia Hibbert)

I'm not a huge romance fan anyway and this wasn't my favorite. At first it just read like PWP (aka "porn with plot") with a lot of sex and an extremely thin plot and flat characters. Then BAM, we throw in some child abuse and domestic violence? Like on one page there's a sex scene that we were all expecting from 50 Shades of Grey and then the next page bam, childhood abuse flashback. In what had been, to that point, a very light read. Okaaaaaayyyy.  

And now that I look at the Read Harder list, which is supposedly why I read this book, and am hesitating to pencil this in. I think this was recommended in the Goodreads group as "Read a book in any genre by a POC that’s about joy and not trauma" but there is definitely trauma.  The trauma is not experienced by the POC though; our main character is a Black woman who is worshipped by everyone she meets and she has no real flaws or issues, and she enjoys a lot of sex. So I guess this still counts for the spirit of the challenge.
