I recognize that some romance readers don't mind a lot of historical errors in favor of a romance that a modern person can enjoy. If I get in the mindset, especially if there's humor (like in Courtney Milan's books) I can enjoy the story and blink past Hollywoodish backdrop and language.
But in this one the hero was such an abusive dickweasel, and not very competent. Finally I couldn't believe in the story line when the h/h are supposedly in danger but all they can think about is lusting after one another's chitlins.
So I'm the wrong audience, and will pass it to someone who is.

Just another run of the mill historical romance. I'm surprised they didn't mention Annique pregnant at the end, it would have fit right in. The only interesting/unqiue thing about the female character was resolved halfway (ish) through. Then she was intelligent but still ineffectual and just another female of her time. I will not continue the series.

Skipped the last 100 pages but I read the first 270 and the end. So I'm counting it.
There are def more than a few problematic scenes but for some reason I still loved it and couldn’t stop reading. Took off a star only bc it feels like the PC thing to do in light of the whole MMC-drugging-the-FMC thing.

This is the standard to which I compare other English-French relations in novels. Not just romance novels, novels in general. I reread it often (I'm due for a reread soon in fact), and I still adore the heroine especially.
