A rating of three because it is well written but the characters seem like a rip from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. If the author modeled her characters after the characters in Austen 's book then she did a good job of capturing Lizzy, Mr. Collins, Mr. Bingley and of course Mr. Darcy.
This was a lot darker than I expected. The portrayal of the dysfunctional and toxic relationship of Xavier with his mother adds a lot of depth to his character and makes his rakish nature understandable. I wasn't happy with one huge aspect of the story, but it turned out well in the end. Almost a fo...
A misunderstood hero, who's ugly past keeps sticking to him like glue and a somewhat stiff and proper heroine who isn't easy to like. For me, that makes for interesting reading. So we have a puppet master, the Duke of Montford. He has "collected" orphan children of kins over the years and then se...
Um. What is with this author and her woe-begotten male leads. They are so emo. Seriously. The full on "I'm no good" and lack of communication. And other levels of annoying. Ugh. *shakes head*

I don't really feel like writing tonight, to be honest, but I have to force myself to review this book tonight, because I won't remember anything about it tomorrow.This book is boring...
A romance book works for me when I can wrap myself around the characters and fully understand their motivations. I don’t have to necessarily like the characters to understand what they are thinking or feeling during a given moment, but having that rapport with them is a big part of my enjoyment of ...
It was a nice book, but I wasn't impressed.My brain thinks it's funny. I can't help myself to... lengthen the hero's name: from Rand to Randy. Why, oh why, did the author have to choose this name??
Ms. Brooke, I think we have a psychic connection. You picked up on what annoys me about too many of the Regency historicals coming out nowadays (thus causing me to avoid them). You took every element that annoys me and turned those conventions around and wrote a book that I enjoyed very much. Thank...
