Well, I've come to a self-determination and that is that I just don't like contemporary romance regardless of what decade it was written in. Because we may see this as a classic but at the time it would have been contemporary. 

Part of the reason I don't like contemporary romance is the characters or authors will just straight up ignore red flags just to make the story end happily. He almost killed Frederick! For a woman he had absolutely zero claim to. And how insulting of him to try and pretend he didn't go to the house at the end to see her... You had no other good reason for being that far away from home, my man.
