The Devil You Know by Liz Carlyle
3.0
Well, this book would sure have more stars if it weren't for some things that I found absolutely ridiculous.
First, I cannot possibly believe that a woman, even a 18-year-old gently bred lady, would have no idea that by having sex she could get pregnant! o.O
Frederica was a young, respectful lady and then she decided to have sex with rogue Bentley "Hell-Bent" Rutledge and then when she knew she was pregnant she was all "How would I know that I would get pregnant? I couldn't possibly know that this was going to happen!".
This is incredibly ridiculous! -.-
In the first place, I have some difficulty to believe that such gentle, respectful lady would risk ruin and humiliation for one night of "debauchery" in the arms of a man that she knows is almost the king of rogues.
This is a lot to take in!
Then, and though I was horrified with Bentley's past, I found it so annoying that he was all "It was my fault! I'm wicked! I'm depraved! Huh, I'm the devil!".
Dammit!! Since when a child that is abused is the responsible for the abuses? o.O
And all that "Oh, I hated it but my body liked it! I knew what I was doing!" Bull!!
We all know that faced with certain situations our body has certain responses but that doesn't mean that we like what is being done to us or that we are willing. For God's sake!
