(1) Well, her family is toxic (except for the 'punk' sister, she's cute), using her as mother and maid and belittling her until she has no self esteem until the step-brother shows up to seduce her. From this point, she battles with self, deludes herself (and is deceived by her brother) so she runs off with her employer to Italy where she meets an awesome opera couple who help her open her eyes to herself.
(2) This is the pissy, spoiled, arrogant little cunt from 'Some Sort of Spell' who has her dreams and mentality shattered by the truth of things. Once she gets through that, she's a little better, but that one ... Ben(?) should have been drowned at birth. I liked the man, he's very understanding and patient, but what he should really do is give that snooty bitch a good spanking. Hmm...spanking. Sure, she's got trauma, but who doesn't?
(3) Well, he's a temperamental prick, not that I don't get it, I do, that kind of betrayal goes deep and lingers eternally. She also has some issues due to her overbearing extended family, but, again, I get it, Highlordwhat'sit of the manor throwing his ever-so-noble weight around. But, being around loverman's bitchy attitude wears off on her, so when she's forced to return, she sticks up for herself, loverman hunts her down, apologizes and lovelove wins.
(4) She's a timid virgin who went through an odd experience (most college boys I've encountered would leap on a 'maiden' like a starving puma to claim first place). Anyway, she, for reasons unknown, feels comfortable with a professor, who happens to be in a wheelchair, that she meets by accident (probably some abelist misconceptions there). He's sweet and patient, she denies, they hurt each other with silence, she runs, gets chased and then marriage.
1) He's the 'spare' now being expected to take the throne since his elder brother has left the country. His parents are cold and more interested in themselves, as they have no interest in their sons aside from the public image of a happy royal family. She fell in wuv at first sight, spent six years nurturing that ideal, but he's marrying her because, well, it's expected. It starts with the arranged marriage, and warms up from there.
2) First: It's not a bad thing, but the artist seems to be inspired by Victorian era newspapers. Females are near replicas of corset ads of the time with forced hourglass figures while the men are all slim, sharp and pointy. Second: Royalty do not dress/undress themselves, there's a man/woman to do that, so while that scene might be cute, it ain't right. Other than that, it's a decent story. Return of the king marriage of convenience turns true wuv with a splash of tragic
Her biological clock is ticking like a bomb and she yearns for insemination. Initially, she thought 'Sperm Bank!', but her friend sings 'Fuck and run for the baby.' She's opposed, but thinking about it as she buys a man at a charity do. She unknowingly buys her boss, a notorious bachelor and playboy. On their arranged date, things get heated, fucking commences, separation, reunion, confrontation, separation, reunion...lovelove!
Holidaying king meets and invites her to fall in love in his home country. She goes, king is away, so she's greeted by the prince of the land. They don't mesh well at first; she's there to test waters and he thinks she's after wealth and title. They get to know each other, learn neither are who they think the other is and end up in bed together. Bad! Bad! Until king returns and announces he's in love with someone else. The pair are then lovelove marriage!
He's a genius gutter rat taken in by the family of a society princess, the pair quickly bond, but, alas, bloodlines. Through the rich family bullshit, the pair can't fight their attraction and they race around the bushes until they finally slam into each other. Then, hey!, he's the lost heir of a titled family. Drama, jealousy, embezzlement, violence, sheltered and checkered pasts, and, last but not least, lovelove! It's not bad.
The castle curator is raising the son her sister left behind, desperately hiding the fact that he's the son of one of the lords of the land. The lord returns to his seat to organize a bicycle race to garner more tourism and stimulate the economy, but his interest is piqued by miss curator. He woos, she resists, passion grows to bursting and the kid is ecstatic with his newfound male influence. The truth is discovered and after a last defiant act, the three make a happy family.
