reviewed Seduccion Salvaje on June 03, 2011Re Savage Courtship - Susan Napier goes against typical physical descriptions in this tale of a butler h and her inherited employer H.
In an unusual reversal, the h is the tall, buff and statuesque one, while the H is the glasses wearing, slight and shorter skinny nerd physical type.
This one starts with the 24 yr old h passing out in her employer's bed after an evening on the tiles. The h is a butler who is currently restoring the H's inherited grand manor into a hotel. She likes to keep all 16 bedrooms aired out by using them to sleep in at night on a rotating basis.
This h comes from a long line of proper English butlers and she happens to be in Australia because her first butlering position led to a lot of shame and scandal. The h was butler to an older man with a contentious family. The h allowed her 20 yr old self to be seduced by the stepson of her employer as well.
When that employer died, he left his estate to the h instead of his evil family and there was a huge scandal where the h was accused of tarty harlotry and perhaps even murder by fornication. The h was set up by the former employer's estranged wife and step children and they ruthlessly savaged her in the English press.
The inheritance wasn't actually that large and the h ended up signing it over, but she was severely traumatized and so when one of her former employer's friends offered her a post on the Coromandel of New Zealand that included general butlering and estate restoration, the h leapt on the opportunity.
Then her savior employer passed away and his distant nephew inherited it. The new owner is a boy wunderkind architect currently suffering from ennui and bored with it. He unexpectedly shows up when the h is passed out in his bed and he doesn't recognize her with her hair unbound.
Then when his BFF calls up to tell him he had a birthday gift delivered as a weekend loan, the H believes the lady in his bed is a prostitute hired for the weekend. She is out cold tho and it is late and he is tired, so he just crawls into bed with her and figures they can get busy in the morning.
The h wakes up and realizes that she is in a shocking position, she doesn't know what happened while she was passed out, but she is hoping there wasn't anything physical involved. The h sneaks off and the H wakes up alone, totally confused.
He is even more confused when there is no blonde goddess lolling about the place, merely his staid dark haired butler and housekeeper and rented Duesenburg Classic Car that was his friend's gift for the weekend.
The H tries to figure out where the woman went and some fun times are had as the h, desperately trying to hide the bedroom incident, indicates that there might be a genuine ghost on the premises. The h and H exchange classic quotes from Ovid and others as they banter with each other over the renovations.
The H eventually figures out the h's deception when he barges in on her date with the local racing stud owner. The h has been drifting towards a relationship with the OM for a while, but the H's new perception and awareness of the h's astounding voluptuousness sparks the Lurve Force Mojo Extra Passion Engine and the big game is on.
There is some back and forth as the H pursues and the h evades and then the H's parent's selection for his future wife shows up. She is convinced that she and the H are destined to be married and she is at his house to force him to commitment. (It is all very modern Regency Houseparty drama.)
The H is either too manipulative or too entertained to tell this woman to take a running jump, so we get several pages of her snide, condescending and OTT chasing the H drama. Eventually events culminate in a big costume ball that the wanna be OW thinks will be to announce her and the H's engagement.
The h, who has been evading the H physically because of PTSD after her London experience, is provoked into dressing as the manor house's legendary lady of the night harlot, who is the ghost the h first suggested was in the H's bed at the beginning.
The H and h finally manage to celebrate the Lurve Club, in a somewhat forceful seduction that the h has no time to freeze up against, after the H makes sure that his wanna be OW and the h's potential OM see them in a compromising position.
Then the H and h are interrupted by the H's very cold and very socialite parents and for the h, it is a repeat of her London nightmare all over again. The H, who has been manipulating the h in a fairly tawdry misogynistic manner for sometime, lets his parents go on and on and on about sleeping with a harlot servant and says absolutely nothing. More importantly, he tells the h to shut up when she starts to speak in her own defense.
The h is devastated and feels very used and abused. She finagles the H's BFF to drive her away from the estate and the BFF takes her to what she thinks is his apartment. It isn't, it is the H's apartment and he got his BFF to distract the h for enough time to take care of his parents and then get the h into his clutches.
The h comes out of the shower to find the H in the bed, in a little reversal of the opening scene of the book, and the big explanations begin. Supposedly the H did not say anything to his parents cause they don't listen to him and tend to steamroll any responses.
The H claims he just let them spew their venom and then told them off and he claims that he has little contact with them. The wanna be OW supposedly got the message that the H isn't interested as well and the H is happy he finally ran the h's OM off.
The H declares he loves the h and wants to marry her. As the h has been in love for the last 35 pages, the two of them happily decide to marry and we leave them celebrating the engagement in a purple passion kinda way for the big HEA.
This one is pretty average overall, SN puts some very funny scenes in the first half as the mortified h is trying to keep the H in the dark about who was in his bed. It loses lustre in the second half, mainly because the h is so obviously traumatized, the H is passive-aggressively manipulative and we never actually see him stand up to his parents or the OW.
SN does a detailed decrying the h as a harlot scene and we get third hand information on the big Parent/OW shout down. Couple that with the H's dubious behavior on the sincerity vs seduction front and it kinda takes the shine off of the pink sparkly glow of the H's supposed True and Deep Love.
So this one was okay for me and honestly, the H's little inconsistencies aren't very noticeable until you have read this a few times. For a one and done trip to HPlandia tho, it is very funny, nicely written and worth the time and supplies necessary to complete this little HP outing.
