The best part is that he calls himself one within the first few pages. Well...whore or prostitute, I forget which. But he's very honest with himself about what he is, which most such heroes aren't.
The "Noble manslut for king and country" is a pretty popular romance novel trope (actually "noble/angsty manslut" in general, not just romances) and one that most love, and one that I kinda hate, so I loved seeing it exposed for the hypocrisy it is.
