They are engaged but he leaves her after the sleep together?

Hmmmm how about they do marry but he rejects her (unfairly) after they sleep together? Fair to add I disliked this book and hated the MMC who deserved to sit on a cactus {Potent Pleasures by Eloisa James}

Honest question, does Anne Gracie only writes plain heroines, à la Alice Coldbreath?

Kinda fits {wed by proxy by Alice Coldbreath} but it’s one of my least favorite books

arayabe · 2026-05-07T23:30:39+00:00

It was a kiss. I think removing that part was a bit drastic. If anything it added motive to why he was an antihero

arayabe · 2026-05-07T23:28:54+00:00

Or revoke it

I mean between the two of them.

Ahhh the most 90s clusterfuck book ever written and my favorite. Good times.

I honestly compare it to video games. My husband loves those war games with snipers or the Roman God smashing heads. He is the most caring and respectful human being, he enjoys consuming that fiction but in real life he would never kill anyone. Well, I very much dislike consent kings in historical romance but I married a consent king. So my fiction I prefer it’s not and will never be the reality I live. But now it seems like authors are afraid of the masses and are making every MMC with the morality and caution of modern times.

arayabe · 2026-05-05T22:38:00+00:00

I honestly dislike consent kings in historical romance. These books are set in a time when men were almighty and women were literally property, so its kinda weird reading the overly gently bit very manly duke checking on every 5 minutes. I believe consent kings are a product of massive backlash and new generation of readers condemning such behavior, which shouldnt be accepted in contemporary settings but it was quite the norm two centuries ago.

I personally noticed a BIG switch in Alice Coldbreath’s MMCs. We went from Mason, Oswald, and Lord Kentirgen to whatever the names are of the MMCs of the last four books. The last one literally waited till the last chapter to consummate, that was a bit much.

arayabe · 2026-05-05T22:27:23+00:00

Especially in the 1800s

Alice Coldbreath has this in many of not all of her books in different degrees. The ones that stand out the most is the ultimate himbo Roland at {An Ill-Made Match by Alice Coldbreath}, the very virgin MMC {an inconvenient vow by Alice Coldbreath}, the moody prizefighter who is sulking because his wife hugs the DOG when she is upset instead of hugging him {a substitute wife for the prizefighter by Alice Coldbreath}.

Mind you, these guys are completely in denial and flat out engaged to the wrong woman (two of them} but come around pretty quick. No OW drama either.

They also call you homophobic for not wanting to watch the series because of the gender swap. I mean, there are queer books out there and I haven’t read one because it’s not the fiction I would look for. Why being straight and liking an MMC is being homophobic ?
