Description
※ This book contains depictions of confinement, dubiously consensual and/or non consensual acts due to hierarchy and power dynamics. Please take this into consideration while reading. Rosénia, who lost her entire family in an accident at a young age, was taken in by the Grand Duke of Lutèce, a close friend of her departed older brother, and raised in the grand duchy. Due to the imperial law’s strict restrictions on adoption and guardianship, they had to take the form of an engagement, but in reality, they lived like siblings with a significant age difference. Rosénia harbored feelings for Iscarion, who had raised her, but he continued to treat her as his little sister even after she came of age… Feeling that she was hindering his future, Rosénia eventually decided to break off their engagement first. However, the day after she made up her mind to leave, “You seem to be seriously mistaken. I have never once thought of you as my sister.”“Brother Isca—”“Did you really think I asked you to call me ‘Brother’ because I wanted to be one?” In a strange bedroom with mirrors on the ceiling, she awoke to face the cold, unfamiliar expression of the man who had always been her kind brother. “What do you think? Staying here until I’m fully satisfied, repaying me with your body for raising you all this time.” *** “This is too much! I’m, I’m all grown up now…” Rosen protested firmly, despite shrinking back. Her small voice was full of resentment. “Rosie, if you’re grown up, you need to take responsibility for your actions like an adult. Do you think you can just run away like this?” Iscarion said calmly as he stepped closer. His firm fingers grasped Rosen’s chin, forcing her to look at him. “I should have raised you more strictly from the beginning. I’ve been too lenient, haven’t I?”“B-Brother, it hurts…”“Maybe it’s time to teach you some manners.” With a swift motion, he grabbed her clothes before she could react. Rosen froze, unable to believe what she was seeing. “How, how could you…!”“So, you didn’t need to feel guilty.”

My Thoughts on Bridal Lessons
"Bridal Lessons" is definitely a novel that knows its audience. Diving in, I quickly realized this isn't your typical fairytale romance, but rather a dive into darker themes with a heavy focus on explicit content. It's a completed original story with ongoing translations, meaning there's already a full narrative to explore, which I always appreciate. However, be warned: this book may not be for the faint of heart.
First Impressions
The synopsis initially led me to believe I was getting a story of aristocratic intrigue and perhaps a forbidden romance. While elements of that are present, the focus quickly shifts to the dynamic between the main characters and the morally grey areas they inhabit. The male lead's yandere tendencies are apparent early on, and the story doesn't shy away from exploring those darker impulses. My initial reaction was definitely one of cautious curiosity, wondering how the author would navigate such potentially problematic themes.
What Works Well
The steaminess is undeniably a major draw for many readers. I found the explicit scenes to be well-written and integral to the story, not just gratuitous additions. The author skillfully portrays the male lead's possessiveness, and the female lead's reactions, even if controversial, feel consistent with her character. I also appreciated the historical European-esque setting, which added a layer of atmosphere to the story. The pacing kept me engaged, and I found myself invested in seeing how the relationship would unfold, even if I wasn't always comfortable with the power dynamics at play.
Areas of Concern
While I can appreciate the author's commitment to exploring darker themes, I do think the female lead's development could have been stronger. At times, her actions felt reactive rather than proactive, and I yearned for her to take more agency in the relationship. Also, some readers may find the dubcon/noncon elements triggering or problematic. It is crucial to approach this story with awareness of these themes and consider whether they align with your personal preferences.
Final Verdict
"Bridal Lessons" is a complex and controversial read that certainly isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance, steer clear. However, if you're intrigued by morally grey characters, possessive heroes, and well-written smut within a dark fantasy setting, this might be a guilty pleasure you enjoy. Just be sure to proceed with caution and awareness of the potentially triggering content. I'd give it a tentative recommendation, with the caveat that it's definitely a niche story.
