An Arranged Marriage by Jo Beverley

2.0

More like 1 1/2 stars. A train wreck in slow motion. Which is a shame because in the end the two main characters are likeable. Especially Eleanor. Nicholas also doesn't really fit the mold of Regency hero. Still, the plot is hicky and gruesome. What's more infuriating is that the author knew that writing a rape Regency romance, even in the late 1990s, was somewhat borderline. The sad thing is that I've read good Regency romance from this writer. Just not this one.
