Aah, the cousin did! that was Nerve, and from memory she’d drawn the ‘no first cousins ’ line ages ago and stuck with it without any second thoughts, and then spent loads of time with our hero (including helping with stoic torture aftermath) and had allll the second thoughts.
ohhhhhhh yeah, 12-year-old me probably found that pretty satisfying. Adult me kind of wants it to have remained unconsummated though. Hilarious that I retconned that when I’m otherwise such a heavily happy-ever-after fan.
I remember that title, and i remember that I liked Nerve, but all his books are so vaguely sameish that it’s hard for me to remember which one was That One, you know? Do recall, I was reading this circa 1991.
Side note: remembering this has helped me feel better about how many tropes I shamelessly reuse over and over in my fic. If Dick Francis could have such a great career and write so many really reasonable books that all featured basically the same protagonist with a costume change, and mostly the same tropes over and over, then why can’t I? There’s no shame in it.
