this would’ve been so much better if sir phillip wasn’t such a sexist dick for 95% of the story.
like yes, i get that it’s the regency era and misogyny/sexism was the standard but for fucks sake, the misogyny in this one was even more appalling compared to the previous books. sir phillip did not want a wife, he wanted a housekeeper-nanny-fucktoy all wrapped in one. *sigh* i still cannot believe eloise was forced to settle for him... she deserved so much better.
also, does julia even know the men she writes because why in gods name did she write anthony, benedict, and colin as lusty rakes talking degradingly about hired women when they’re all married? it was disgusting and so out of character.
good luck to netflix in improving this one.
