Caroline Morrow, divorced and almost penniless, reappears in England in 1821 after an absence of five years, to the delight of Lord Simon Blair, her former lover. Soon they are in bed again, and again, and again, as the apt title implies. Ultimately, despite willful tempers and disagreements and recriminations on both sides, Simon literally kidnaps Caroline from her employer's estate and marries, then impregnates her to the amazement of the ton. After a false scare over the baby, they realize that they love each other, and that they will live happily ever after. The minimal and silly plot serves merely as a backdrop for carefully described and frequently repeated ecstatic sex. To use their own words, the two are "in rut" for the entire story, which is the entire point. Johnson has written an extremely arousing erotic romance, but, irrelevant though it may be, it seems highly unlikely that the phrase "pissing me off" was used in 1821.
