TRIGGER WARNING

A different element of rape I'm sure the author did not intend to portray, but forcing a man to ejaculate inside you to try and force conception, while he's drunk no less, is abhorrent and, indeed, rape.

Although I love the tv show, three series in and I’ve never read a book! I really enjoyed The Duke and I, so much so I’ve moved straight on to the next in the series and I’m very much looking forward to getting ahead of the series!!

Simon was super annoying about his vow. Daphne sexually assaulted him which felt unnecessary…like why even add something like that & like romanticize it. It’s seriously not okay what she did.

I enjoyed the show much more. We got more violet more Eloise more pen, more every other character.
