1.0

Standard Harlequin category romance of the type my grandmother used to read, which unfortunately means that the hero's sheer overwhelming masculinity overpowers the heroine's weak-willed "not tonight dear" - i.e. he starts feeling her up when she tells him to shove off, and then initiates sex. So, basically, rape. There's a lot of comparison of the heroine's natural beauty to all those fake Hollywood makeup-wearing harlots. The heroine consistently refers to her parents (adoptive) by their first names and refers to her birth mother as her "real" mother. Ugh.
