The Captain’s Disgraced Lady by Catherine Tinley
We should rekindle the noble tradition of issuing a fatwa on stupid and loud heroines.

The discerning reader’s guide: stay the hell away from this awful, awful thing.
What’s worse than a damsel in distress? A dingbat in distress!
A noble heroine finds succor in servicing a john that may be responsible for her father’s death. Plot of the year!
Our heroine is determined to just put out instead of marrying the guy, to show the world that she’s not a ho.
The best thing about this one is the first few pages. It’s a rapid downhill tumble after that point.
I wonder whether the hero would fall for the heroine if they hadn’t been snowed in in a castle together.
The cover is the only thing about this one that doesn’t make me feel seasick.
The biggest problem here is that it takes place in 19th century London.
The author is far more interested in showing me that her story is rife with the dumber tropes of the genre.
