I have always loved every Lisa Kleypas book I have ever read, but this book is horrible and offensive. I can't imagine what kind of woman would enjoy and give a good review to a book where the heroine was raped. And, yes, it was rape no matter what flowery term you put it in. Neither the "hero" in the book is unlikable and selfish. And later in the book, you find the heroine's first husband, who happens to be the brother of the hero, turns out to have had an affair with a girl while the heroine was waiting for him to return to her in France. There is not a redeemable character in this entire book. This book is a disgrace to women and not worth the paper it's written on.
