Eternal Love

Eternal Love - Mizumi Takaoka, Yukariko Jissohji So we start off with kidnapping and raping Tomoyuki and spend the rest of the book with him telling Aswil he wants to go home and this is somehow "romantic". Finally at the crux of the book Tomoyuki totally forgets how he's been abused and the outcome has them mining up Africa for oil.

I give it another star only because Tomoyuki actually DOES like Aswil, only he just wants Aswil to listen to him and treat him like a human being. Also in the outcome they have nice consenual sex for once. That still doesn't forgive the fact the book is 90% "Stop doing that and let me go home."

Also "Arabian" and "Exotic" get used a lot in this book.
