she's described as fighting him frantically, but he's firm with her, and then she surrenders passionately.

That scenario seems like it was A Thing in 70s romance novels. The Wolf and the Dove, (which was good, at least when I was 13, probably because there's a h/c scene with cauterization) and The Flame the Flower (which sucked) both had it.

There's a definite upper-age-limit to being able to really get into the early Pern novels. When I was 10/11/12, Dragonflight was one of my favorite books in the world. Seanchai didn't read it until high school, and was so horrified by the part where F'lar grabs Lessa and shakes her that ten years later, it's the only part of the whole book she remembers (possibly because she stopped reading at that point).
