[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! I kind of thought the ravanels had lots of terrible MMC (like didn’t one of them kidnap somebody and then in a later book the victim was just supposed tj make nice?), but this sounds so bad. I’m going to drag away from the books, thank you. [/quote]
The Ravenels definitely have some jerk alphas but I wonder if you are thinking here of the Wallflower series, where Sebastian kidnaps and almost [i]rapes [/i]Lillian and then later marries her friend and everyone makes totally nice. I am an Xer and grew up with rapey romance novels from the 80s and that still turned my stomach, so so gross. That character was irredeemable and I don't know what the author was thinking.[/quote]

Okay yes thank you! I don't know how we're expected as readers who have grown to love and care for the victim to just kind of push that out of our heads in the next book and get all giddy for the guy. And her (I forget the victim's name, sorry) tolerance for the situation was some kind of sign of maturity, ugh.

But do you remember the book with his son? I really liked that one and I'd kind of like to re-read it.

But back to Bridgerton: one nice thing about books getting adapted is that lots of things fly in writing that don't on screen. Sometimes I'm totally fine with problematic things, but, like, with Outlander, I sure didn't mind the way they toned up the consent. I understand they did something similar in Bridgerton season 1?  I'm happy they made the men better in the screen adaptation and I'm just going to enjoy the show as fun entertainment that I don't have to think too hard about. :)[/quote]
