A Taste of Seduction by Mary Campisi

2.0

There were some...issues.
-There was a lot of attempted sexual assault, against women mostly.
-The phrase "...despite his age and apparent infirmary." No one runs a doctor's office, the earl has a deadly cough.
-Alex is a dick, telling Francie that her low cut dress makes her look like she "works in a brothel, do not be surprised when the customers begin lining up." And other charming statements.
-Because he's sooo attracted to Francie, Alex sleeps in the stables every night for weeks to make her think he's with his mistress.
-There is a calico cat named Mr. Pib. A male calico cat named after a soft drink...yup.
-The travel times are confusing, it's said that the good earl's estate is two hours away from the aunt/uncle's cottage but they traipse back and forth between there and the good earl's and the asshole earl's place in no time. Occasionally transporting dying people who miraculously survive.
-And finally I have in my margin notes from the last few pages "A random pirate appears!"
SpoilerA pirate named Mad Jack appears to take care of one of the rape-y antagonists.
