Celebrates Misogyny and weak willed women
I read Tessa Bailey’s “Hot and Hammered” Trilogy: “Fix Her up,’ “Love Her or Lose Her,” and “Tools of Engagement” so that you don’t have to. Truth be told I only read 2 ½ books. I couldn’t make it past page 112 of “Tools of Engagement” where the leading female character, Bethany, refers to herself as not wanting to be the male character’s “chew toy.” Really? Chew toy?This trilogy is supposed to be a series of romantic-comedies. It’s not. It’s a series depicting misogynistic so-called alpha males and weak willed women.The three lead males: Travis, Dominic and Wes, are all rude, narcissistic, misogynist jerks. The three female leads: Georgie, Rosie and Georgie’s sister Bethany, put up a brave feminist front, but always give in to these cavemen because all three are gloriously well endowed. That’s all women need, apparently. Seriously. There’s a lot of stressed zippers here because the men can’t control themselves. In one scene (I am not making this up) the character Wes worries that he might “put someone’s eye out” because he is so aroused.Let’s be clear. The men in these books do not love the women. They want to possess them. For example, in “Love Her or Lose Her,” the female, Rosie, leaves her husband because he won’t talk to her, won’t listen to her and is satisfied with once a week sex. Once Rosie leaves, Dominic becomes obsessed with getting her back, constantly referring to her as “Mine.” Nowhere does he acknowledge what she wants out of life that doesn’t include him. SPOILER: she wants to own a restaurant.In the first book “Fix Her Up” Travis, a has-been baseball player, constantly refers to Georgie, an adult woman, as “baby girl.” Really? Georgie is portrayed as a pathetic fan girl who can’t get over her crush for the local baseball hero. She is not a feminist hero. She’s pathetic.The worst of the three so-called heroes is Wes in “Tools of Engagement.” This is ironic because the author states that Wes and Bethany are her favorite story. I can’t imagine why.Wes is a Texan (that should tell you everything) transplanted to Long Island. He is domineering, misogynistic and a total jerk. In one scene Bethany is with her girlfriends on a night out. The men just can’t stand that these women would consider a life, or even a night, without them. The men crash the girls’ night. Bethany is sitting at a bar and a gentleman buys her a drink. Wes walks up, grabs the drink, drinks it, and slaps money on the bar before dragging Bethany away. REALLY? REALLY??So, don’t waste your time reading these books unless you like misogynistic men and weak willed women. I thought we were beyond that.
