★☆☆☆☆
Dirty, full of sex, and not true to the regency time period.
So lets put it out there that many who read the regency time period books have certain expectations that it will be a fairly clean novel, because of the social structure of those times. Well spoiler alert, but this book has a ton of sex in it. I dont mean they just elude to it either, its descriptive and specific. I feel like the first half of the book is pretty true to the regency time period, but the second half falls completely short of that and the author just gets wrapped up in writing a sex novel. I mean, in this time period, Women really truly valued their reputation and being a women of respect and honor, and the main character in this has NO regard whatsoever for her reputation or being respectable. This whole "casual" sex thing is way too indicative of modern times. And then lets take a second and address the leading man. At first you think hes such a gentleman, but then he talks about all his mistresses and again, all the casual sex, and hes a total dirtbag who doesnt respect women at all. Respect, virtue, and moral cleanliness are somewhat expected when you read regency novels because of what the social dynamics were back then, at least for the higher respectable social class, and this novel completely lost all of that during the second half.
