A review by rayonx
Lady Danger by Sarah McKerrigan, Glynnis Campbell
2.0
This book in one sentence: Fierce scottish warrior Deirdre becomes engaged to Sir Pagan Cameliard, a norman knight who doesn't believe women should be allowed to fight; sparks ensue.
My rating: ⭐⭐
Steaminess: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Would I recommend: If you're really into historical romances, sure? It's not typically my favourite genre, but this one was available for free on Kobo. Be prepared for the overuse of the word "loins" and this kind of sex scene: "Like a pinecone exploding upon the fire, his body seemed to burst into a hundred bright sparks. The heat was excruciating, unbearable. Yet he craved its purifying fire.".
Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, insta-lust, racist caricature of an asian elder who just spurts words of wisdom, somehow pregnant after a few days...
Content warnings: questionnable consent during sex scenes
