This book has some messed up stereotypes of Romani people embedded. The biological essentialism that the half Romani characters are travelers who also 'need to put down roots' because they're half- Irish is strange. The sections where Merripen is brutish and uncontrollable as part of his 'nature' is really frustrating too! Lisa Kleypas does better in the Wallfowers and Ravenels series' than in the Hathaways in my opinion.
Moderate: Racism and Racial slurs
