I enjoyed a large potion of the book, however I was incredibly saddened by the last 3rd.
I despise that Daphne rapes her husband and it handled so poorly. It is never acknowledged as rape, she justifies it to herself, and he asks her to forgive HIM for not wanting a child. The Duke is also physically violent w/ Daphne and it is never addressed, which is quite upsetting.
