Just gonna put a quote here of the first rape in this book because it’s terrible and hilarious and important to historically document what was once considered romantic and is now a felony in most places.
Then his hand was hot upon her naked breast, and her free hand snapped forward like a striking falcon but was stopped a bare inch from his laughing face. His grip was iron hard but gave her no pain, and with easy strength he clasped both her wrists behind the small of her back. Shanna drew a breath to shriek in anger, but his mouth smothered her outcry. Her head whirled in an ever quickening eddy, and she struggled against the intoxication of his kiss. “Ruark! Wait!� she gasped as his lips lifted from hers. His fingers were at the dainty ribbon on her chemise, freeing her bosom. “Nay, Shanna. Yield to me now, love,� he murmured thickly against her throat. His face lowered. His mouth was scalding upon her breast, and she was devoured in a searing, scorching flame that shot through her like a flaring rocket. “Oh, Ruark,� she panted in a whisper. “Oh, don’t—please—� She could not draw a deeper breath. “Oh, Ruark—stop—� The warmth spread until her skin seemed to glow. Her hands were free now but could only press his head closer. He moved and was hot and hard between her thighs. Her lips were dry, and her tongue flicked out to moisten them. In a last weak effort at modesty she tried to shield herself from the probing staff. “O, love—love,� he rasped, taking her hand and leading it to him, closing his lean fingers over hers. “I’m a man. Flesh and blood. No monster, Shanna.� His mouth was upon hers again, and his tongue was insistent until she met it with her own, first with hesitancy, then with welcome, then with passion. He was pressing her down upon the velvet seat. Her sanity argued, this is madness! Her passion whispered slyly, let him come! And he came to her, a first sharp piercing pain that made her gasp followed by a warmth deep inside that made her sob with pleasure. He began to move, and he was kissing her, caressing her, loving her�

Ouch.
I like your tags, by the way. Succinct and snarky. :)

My tags are purely for science.
