#WhatchaReading? Betrayal/remorse is my romance catnip and historical My Deceitful Duchess by Aydra Richards is a pretty good one. (Not as OTT as Exit, Pursued by a Baron.) But I was irked by the "romance hero Aspergers" portrayal, partly because it's such a cliche and doesn't go into any of the real issues, and mostly because if you're going to write an autistic love interest, take the opportunity to have him react in different ways!

On the other hand, by the end I felt the author had worked to make the standard plot relevant to who he was, and gave him a good remorse arc. So qualified approval, and it's an entertaining read. I also liked the strength and competency of the FMC.
