This is a very unpopular novel, the main reason is that the supposed H locks the h in a room like his ancestor was rumored to do and rapes her. Yep, no bones about it, no forced seduction, it was flat out rape and yet he still winds up with her in the end.
It almost works, but then it doesn't and thus all the one and two stars. Worth reading for the WTF aspect of it cause I know I read out of sheer disbelief.
