Pickpick

Ha! Light and zingy and heaps of fun with some super enjoyable and some more 'er, interesting' play on romance novel tropes. YMMV spoilers (two) in comments.

I enjoyed it even when muttering at the characters for being minor dumbasses and mentally rewriting certain scenes. LOVED the heroine thumbing her nose at high society; it was practically cathartic.

esurient 1. h is tipsy prior to bedding H. H asks for, and is enthusiastically given, consent, but still: tipsy. It's probably intended to show the h being just intoxicated enough to release her inhibitions. Which, meh, not an awesome trope. (edited) 5y
esurient 2. Because of plot reasons, h believes H intends a Spurned into Suicide, so she passionately stops him. H rolls with this and slides a heeeey I must insist on a permanent and legally binding arrangement here. This is far too close for my taste to a Suicide Blackmail, but the scene itself is one of innocent madcap hilarity. Big meh. 5y
esurient HA. You can edit comments on Litsy web!!! 5y

Lord Damerel (reputed rake of the first order)

"Since that date he appeared (if only half the stories told of him were true) to have devoted himself to the pursuit of all the more extravagant forms of diversion, going a considerable way towards dissipating what had once been a handsome fortune, and neglecting no opportunity that offered to convince his critics that he was every bit as black as he had been painted."
