By 45%, the hero and heroine had done nothing more -- not even in thought -- than hand kissing. And even that, the heroine acted all scandalized. Heaven forbid your fiance should want to kiss your hand!
I might have cheered her if she hadn't already gotten on my nerves. She was stubborn to a fault and she didn't endear herself to me at all. I couldn't even feel dismay at her being goaded into marriage.
By 50%, they were married and finally -- FINALLY -- hero thought about kissing her. Which was the first sexual inclination he'd shown beyond kissing her hand the entire book thus far.
There's slow romance and then there's... this. Which was more like a whole lot of nothing until hero decided he wanted to kiss his wife and his wife -- who'd avoided her husband and resented him the entire time -- decided she wanted a baby.
Ugh.
Then, as one would expect, everything progressed rapidly from there, but by that point, I was so disillusioned and annoyed by both hero and heroine that I didn't much care. The whole curse thing -- especially in regards to her parents marriage and the twins -- was ever resolved to my satisfaction either.
