I agree with another reviewer, both the hero and the heroine were ninnies. I would have liked the hero better if he had been in love with the heroine when he married her. At least he did fall in love a few years into the marriage. And then he suffered from several well deserved years of unrequited love. The heroine was just a ninny. Most times I don't mind a silly young heroine but here she just kept being silly for years. I don't see how anyone could be so unaware of themselves or others. And she seemed more uncaring really. And there really were at least 2 forced seduction scenes that honestly left the seduction in the dust and just left the forced bit. Hmm... ( )
