- Collins is angry in this one, at marriage laws that could trap a woman on a technicality, and at brawny athlete-worship, and the anger drives it. Anne Silvester's plight genuinely tightens your chest, though you'll have to forgive him a few sermons along the way.
- Bernard starts out half feral, raised by bandit uncles in a crumbling castle, and Edmée basically refuses to love him until he makes himself worth loving, which takes years. If you like romance that's really about a person slowly being rebuilt, this is unusually satisfying.
