Dear Eloisa James,
What the hell were you thinking? You start your story by having the "heroine" ruthlessly mock her fiancee who turns out to be mentally handicapped. You then proceed to place these individuals in a situation that boarders on sexual abuse, as the man in question is barely 18 and clearly has the mental capacity of a much younger person. It's clear that you see his lack of understanding of sex as funny and the scene as comedic, but it's sad and horrifically cruel on your part. The "heroine" completes her descent into abhorrent villain when she then proceeds to steal the man her sister is interested in while being rude to everyone around her. I had to stop 1/4 of the way into this travesty because it was just so offensive. Shame on you Ms. James!
