"Reform of the Playboy" by Mary Lyons is a novel that tells the story of Finn Maclean, a charming, yet ruthless, playboy, and his attempts to change his ways.
He's known for carrying around beautiful women all the time, and it's not hard to imagine why Harriet Wooten might have been suspicious of him. Even though she was an experienced lawyer by profession, she still appeared like a naïve woman when it came to understanding men.
The story begins with Finn introducing himself to Harriet, casually. But when she presents herself as an experienced barrister, he reveals that he's been trying to break out of this playboy status and convince her that he can be trusted. To win her confidence, he promises to stop using women like yesterday's garbage, which instantly impresses Harriet.
Soon after, Harriet convinces her sister, Mabel, to hire Finn as their new lawyer. Unfortunately, Finn starts getting worse in each ensuing meeting, continuing to pester Harriet for more sexual interactions. Moreover, while Harriet continues to stand against him and shy away, Finn returns time and again to test his luck.
Gradually, the reader comes to learn that Finn has made up his mind to conquer Harriet's heart even if he has to ruin her life. But with each twist and turn of events, Harriet seems unfazed, carefully thinking of how to keep Finn from her family, friends, and anyone ever finding out about him. In the meantime, Finn becomes increasingly frustrated, prompting Harriet to contemplate being a victim of violence.
Although the novel explores certain aspects of love, such as the destructive power of obsession, sexual manipulation, and manipulative verbal abuse, the main character Finn is portrayed as a fascinating yet erratic character. His journey through the stages of change provides the reader with a great deal of insight into human nature, ultimately demonstrating the need for self-reflection and self-love.
