188. Your Mask doesn’t make you cool: Velvet Chains by Constance O’Banyon

Isabeau found a romance from a free library--the cover was gorgeous, the title bananas.

The premise: a revolutionary American privateer kidnaps a british artisto named Season and then proceeds to gaslight her and the reader about his varied identities against the backdrop of the American War for Independence. Season, a classically plucky coddled only child with ginormous boobs changes her politics, when love opens her eyes to "freedom" but does the book understand it's own 80s hottakes? What does incrementalism get us in the end?
