The Stranger I Married by Sylvia Day

2.0

---

I liked that the heroine wasn't your standard main female character- she was older than her husband and she wasn't an innocent virgin, she was openly sexual and happy about it. Most of the books that I have have read set in the regency have female characters that are either complete innocents or fall into a life of 'sin' against their will, so Pel is really quite a refreshing change. I did however find it a bit dull, there didn't seem to be much plot. There was also a lot of sex scenes and I didn't really like them that much- it was kind of rapey, isabel is saying no and Gerald carries on, her body might have been enjoying it but she was saying no.

It helped a long train journey pass a quicker but I doubt I'll be re-reading it.
