The Wild Child by Mary Jo Putney
Oh, the adorable hero. Yucks, the heroine.

Oh, the adorable hero. Yucks, the heroine.

The pirate hero’s name is actually Raiden. No, really!

The secondary characters save this one. The main characters can be quite dull.

Need more romance. And magic.

Fia faces a dire fate in this one: she is made conventional.

Holy castle, I think the author has stuffed nearly every medieval romance trope in here!

The author knows all her tropes very well, but the end result is more sleepy than exciting.

There’s magic, but it can’t prevent the lead characters from being big babies.

The heroine is too good for the hero.

Why does a suffragist romance tend to portray those women as idiots? Is this some kind of subversive propaganda?
