The hero was a arrogant sod, but in the end they enjoyed each other. What better ending?
As far as the 'rapes'...the man was a duke. It was her duty to produce an heir as soon as possible to secure the title. Brother or no brother, most men would want that, regardless of circumstances. Has anyone read any diaries of the day? Women were more or less chattel, in the upper reaches of society, anyway.
The fact that she was Scottish should've caused more problems. Hmmmm..
However, the stableroom scene made up for much and if brandy can get us there, then I recommend more brandy for all. She's used forms of forced sex in her other novels and then showed a progression from the demands and dictates of society for heirs to exciting, mutual satisfaction...
She manages here. Perhaps, she doesn't manage fully, but it's worth reading. Not all of us want heroines that immediately slobber for their men.
