Kate’s Reviews > When the Marquess Met His Match > Status Update

Man, this is a solid story! It’s silly and nonsensical but had POTENTIAL. But I cannot at ALL imagine ANY heroine who forgives this being held down and having to SCRAMBLE AWAY. WTH, do these authors choose historical so they can portray their creepy mens-cannot-control-themselves beliefs? I feel ICKY

GRRRRRRRRRR STOP WITH THE RAPEY HEROES WHO’VE NEVER HEARD OF THE ENTHUSIASTIC YES

How many times does the author intend for characters to say “marry for material considerations”? It’s awfully clunky for so many characters to use the exact phrase. Was it a common Victorian usage? Those wacky historical peeps couldn’t say “money”?

Um...wut? Our hero is contemplating his ex-mistress and prostitutes because he can’t have our heroine?

I’m forgiving this cuz love story but I totally blame L M Montgomery for making me enjoy hate-to-love relationships.

Romance novel lessons that wear on my nerves: Lust is The Only Important Feeling Until A Woman Makes You Love Her.

Hero has lost much of my sympathy by fat-phobia of after praising the (I expect) heroine for being less “scrawny” than the first time they had met. So, so many reasons could’ve the first he mentions for not wanting to marry the woman of his father’s choice, but the author chose to gift him with disgust for her body. He’d better improve or DNF looms.
