He also rapes another important character who later kills herself, which is pretty irredeemable to me. In other ways the story is entirely too conventional because this is another Cinderella story-if Cinderella fell in love with a borderline sociopath who kidnaps and rapes her. He never earns or becomes worthy of her love. For the entire book you will be scratching your head trying to figure out what the hell she sees in him. She knows that he is cruel, arrogant and "incapable of love," but she loves him anyway. This typically means the narrator is unreliable, and in this case the narrator does not endear the reader to the love interest. This book was also written in the first person, which was a surprise as most romance novels I have read are in the third person. I typically read a lot of regency romance and fantasy romance, so the fact that it was set some time long ago in Italy was different, even if it was a bit hard for me to visualize. This book was a bit unconventional for a romance novel, and that was the reason I read it from beginning to end.
