rjordan19 's review for:
The Dangerous Lord
by Sabrina Jeffries
Edit to add steam stats and few random thoughts 11/25/21:
1820
Heroine is 23, missed how old the hero is, but she calls him ancient and he needs to marry before he's 30 so I'm guessing 29?
Added to enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, secret writer - though it's not really a secret and a touch of rags to riches
Locations of kisses/intimate scenes
Pg 86 - kiss
Pg 126 - kisses, breast play, dry humping, fingering - I don't think she orgasms though it's very close
Pg 228 - kisses, light touches for him, fingering, missionary sex (virginity loss for her)
Pg 283 - kisses
Pg 313 - kisses
Pg 327 - kisses, oral orgasm for her, followed by missionary
Pg 370 - fade to black sex
Total pages 376
Content warnings
attempted assault (heroine experiences attempted assault - threatened with kisses and violence by debt collector)
sexual assault, remembered (man forced kisses and grabbed her breasts)
Original review 8/9/18:
The hero, Ian, needs a wife and heir by the time he is 30 or he loses his unentailed inheritance. He is courting a friend of the heroine. Rumors surround the mysterious Ian and he flames the rumors with his silence about any happenings either way. Felicity, the heroine, sabotages the relationship to protect her friend from the horrible cur.
I generally really like books like this. They don’t have an established history, and meet for the first time in the book. They quickly become enemies with plenty of feisty dialogue. The passion and tension were there. It had the trimmings of becoming a favorite of mine.
However as the book went on, the dialogue becomes very repetitious and the conflict in the story could have been resolved with a few minutes of good communication (a huge pet peeve of mine in books!)
Ian was determined to keep his secrets to “protect” everyone, even though it was destroying Felicity.
But Felicity...I just did not find her a likeable character. She was always harping about the same things throughout the entire book. She doesn’t give Ian the benefit of a doubt ever. She tries to root out all of his secrets and I found her rather obnoxious. I was irritated she would take a rumor as truth then demand “proof” from Ian that it wasn’t true.
