This was pretty damn good. She rebuked him beautifully and he beautifully didn't take that very well - and still didn't sexually assault her in retaliation! For once the male lead didn't have to have a whole truckload of hints dropped unto him to open up to the female lead (in fact, he opened up so thoroughly by himself, she had to clam his mouth shut to get in a word edgewise and that was ... amazeballs in itself). No past ex appeared, no plane exploded, no car swerved and killed someone and the plot still ran smoothly. Fantastic.
Her having to hold his mouth shut was hilarious. Real humour is something that most Harlequins are in dire need of. Their back and forth conversations were great.
