He wants to go work for a competitor and therefore screw over his boss. He is a super-jerk, and everyone knows it. The basic storyline for The Contract is that Richard (aka, The Dick) is terrible. Unfortunately, this boss is not one of them. There are plenty of grumpy old dukes and mean bosses who have believable redemption arcs. Setting aside the fact that perpetuating this trope maybe doesn’t encourage the healthiest of relationships, I will admit that it can be done well. It’s nice to think that jerks just need someone to care about them, and then the world would be a better place. The trope of the Bad Man who becomes a better man through the love of the Good Woman is pretty standard in romance novels. Overall: Whatever muscles I use when I roll my eyes got an excellent workout Plot: A Bad Man is Reformed by the Love of a Good Woman Heat Factor: A virgin has a magic orgasm, of courseĬharacter Chemistry: A dickwad meets an angel of domesticity and forgiveness
