Barbarous by Minerva Spencer
2.0

Unoriginal plot, predictable. Cringey sex scenes. “Pleasure palace” and other euphemisms abound. A swashbuckling, swaggering ladies man is suddenly ok with settling down on an estate. Chemistry barely there.

He fights with a 5 foot long broadsword pulled from what I understand to be a back scabbard in the year 1811.

The villain monologues about his sad past. Daphne remains a damsel in distress.

The only thing I enjoyed was Daphne’s personality, more in the beginning than the end.
