Goodness gracious, Brutal Serpent was a trip. 

 

It has everything you’d expect from a Kate Raven book—an unrepentant and obsessed villain hero, non-con and dub-con, breeding kink, and of course a heroine who doesn’t realize what she’s gotten herself into until she can’t get out (although in this case, she didn’t have a choice to begin with)—set in regency times with some historically accurate lack of hinge (the fucking leeches?!!). 

 

Anyway, next time I’m acting like a brat, I’m just going to tell my partner it’s because of my humors and that I need treatment 💀
