Title: Promising start leads to disappointment, disgust
Review: For the first few chapters, "Rules of Surrender" promised to be an enjoyable romance about an outwardly prim but inwardly passionate governess finding love with another outsider -- an Englishman who ran away as a young teen and spent his adulthood among desert nomads. Unfortunately, the "hero" -- whom we're supposed to find irresistibly sexy and masculine -- is an overbearing boor who forces himself on the heroine at every opportunity. Apparently the author thinks that sexual harassment, assault, emotional manipulation, and date rape are sexy when they're in an 1840s setting. I can't agree. Deserves its single star because the initial scenes of the governess with the children and their grandmother are charming and well written. Unfortunately, that plot gets lost in pages and pages of really unpleasant, mostly nonconsensual sex between the governess and her employer. Ick.
