But this was the style of writing back then and then add in the fact that they are forgetting it took place back in what the 17th-18th century. Women had no rights, were the property of their fathers or husbands and the men didn't think twice about having another woman on the side.
What I loved about this book is that Serena REFUSED to be a victim! And the scam she pulled to keep Regan at bay was absolutely hysterical!
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Fern early work.

I will always love these types books because they remind me of how strong women always were and how despite the circumstance they were thrown in they manage to find some semblance of peace in the end. I call these epic romances and no one does these anymore. They are lost on most young readers yet these readers will gobble up these indies out where the hero is just as abusive or maybe even more to the heroine and she acts like it's normal just as long as the hero is super hot rockstar, mma fighter, Billionaire or biker....etc.
We must never forget where we came from or how far Women have come from since then and these novels remind me of that.
