Partially because of what she did to him, and partially because after that happened his stutter, something he has spent his whole life being ashamed of, returned as they were fighting during that scene. In this moment, he tries to pull away, but Daphne does not let him and forces him to ejaculate inside of her.Īfter that, he (rightfully) leaves her. He has made it very clear he doesn’t want children, and does not want to risk children. This scene goes from dubious-consent straight to rape when Simon is about to ejaculate. He’s half asleep, but he’s into it (although there’s a whole other conversion to be had about how sober he is and how consensual that is). They go to sleep, but shortly after, Daphne wakes up and decides to get on top of him and have sex with him. Simon then gets drunk, and comes back later and begs her to take him back. Her being upset here is completely understandable. What we will talk about is what happens next.ĭaphne finds out he was lying, and they fight. That is a problem, but the book clearly paints him as in the wrong, and he learns that it was the wrong thing to do, so we won’t talk about that anymore. For plot reasons, they “have to” get married, and Simon takes advantage of Daphne’s naivety, and lies to her. Daphne, having grown up in a large family, would like one of her own. Let me give you some context. Simon does not want children, due to trauma from his childhood. Towards the end of the book, Daphne rapes Simon. We will get into spoilers a little bit here, but this is important to know before going into it. I was going to give this book five stars. For the first 60%, I adored it. The banter was fun and adorable, the romance was great, I loved the characters, and I really enjoyed this take on Regency society.
