Rape is never cute. Even if you love them. Even if it to get pregnant. JAIL! for all the women who normalize women doing this in the name of romance. If we want men to do better we need to uphoald the bare minimum. Consent is the bare minimum.

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records. This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. This is the first in the Bridgerton story of Daphne and Simon. Set in the 1800's the pair hatch a plan, to pretend to be on the verge of a proposal, Simon so that the mothers and daughters of the Ton back off, and Daphne to have more admirers and to aim for a real proposal. The ruse works but then they fall for each other. It is a slushy historical chick lit, enjoyable never the less. Once they get. married the book becomes an issue for me, with Daphne desperate for a child forces herself on Simon. Not acceptable from either sex. A big fat no for me, but it was picked for a book club and more are likely to be read. A pleasant enough passing of time inspite of the section outlined above.

Serious point reduction for the Male SA apologist storyline. Really could have done without that but this is the gateway to more books.
