The Viscount does some truly heinous actions against Violet in his revenge scheme. Violet spends much of this book too horny to function. Their chemistry is very good, however I think Violet is too eager to grant forgiveness.

Look, if you enjoyed this book more power to you because for me personally this was not it. 

Some of this is my own fault. Somehow in my head I thought this was a historical romance that was going to deal with a mental illness in the MMC in a complex and nuanced way, but it is not. In fact, I'm a bit confused by the title because what was the madness supposed to be? General anger?

But generally I hated the MMC and how he treated the FMC and didn't feel their relationship was really developed emotionally. Plus, this book was extremely forgettable. A couple that shouldn't be together should at least be interesting.

Looking at who the other books in this series are about gives me no faith that this author writes the kind of MMC I can get behind so I will definitely not be continuing.

I like this author but I hated the hero, hot as he was, for most of the book. I liked the heroine though and the whole plot to get her back into people’s good graces. I’m so excited for the next book in the series though.

LIKES:
  • writing style and smut scenes
  • her way of hyping up the next couples in the series
  • time jumps where you actually feel that there is a time jump
DISLIKES:
  • insta-lust between hero and heroine
  • wishy-washy character and moods of the hero
  • rushed/no natural progression of emotional chemistry between the two main leads. Meaning, I need to see from their banter and conversations their act of falling in love
  • more show than tell
  • a bit of sketchy behavior from the hero that I somehow interpreted as abuse (whoops!)
