It has a borderline non-consensual secks scene that was acceptable in the 80s and isn't so much now.

The marriage has to be consummated otherwise she can have it annulled and he's back at square one, vulnerable to her testimony. She likes him (wink wink, we're talking romance after all), but she's definitely bulldozed into it.

So I, as an author, have some mixed feelings about it, too-- because that scene is a major plot point. ::points down to the comment re: Catherine Coulter::

And Larry Niven read it, when he was making a pass at me at a con a long time ago. Pfui. "Well done. Too many adverbs."
