- The importance placed on the Aline’s virginity. I get it, it’s period accurate, but
McKenna’s response after they had sex for the first time and he found out she was a virgin felt icky even for the time period. - McKenna’s plan for revenge.
Trying to get back at someone by forcibly impregnating them is gross.

A little heavy handed with the melodrama of two adults who refuse to tell one other important information for really no discernible reason, but not in a fashion atypical of the genre. There were noticeable typos in the digital copy I read, which I've noticed before with Kleypas books.
