alobearFace the Fire is the last in the Three Sisters Island series by Nora Roberts, about a centuries-old curse tied to the fates of three different women on a small island.
I mostly enjoyed the first two, despite having various issues with the romance aspects - and I did think I wanted to complete the series and read Mia's story.
But no.
Mia is rightfully angry with her ex, Sam, when he comes back to the island unexpectedly after disappearing to New York 11 years before. And, after she tells him she wants him to suffer and to pay for the pain he's caused her, then disappear again and never come back - his response is to grab her and 'crush his lips to hers' - at which point I noped out of listening to the rest of the audiobook because I actively didn't want them to get together.
Hey ho.
