How I feel about the book, the image that says it all:This book started great, but after the 3rd chapter or so it went downhill. We have the heroine who is about 50% likable who's in love with the hero, or, at least, what she imagines him to be. Then we have the hero who allegedly is a nymphomaniac(...

I've been tired with historical's because they're all obnoxiously predictable. This one is predictable in most ways, but thankfully it was very different in content. Not what I expected... and that's what made me keep reading. Honestly, it's probably only a 3, but I'm so impressed with the fact that...

I won this book through the Goodreads First Reads Giveaway on 12/28/2010 and received it on 01/11/2011!Occasionally, I love a good romance novel. Especially a period one ... you know ... ones that are set back in the mid to late 1800's or the early 1900's. Prelude to a Scandal was pretty good. It wa...

So the fluff binge-reading train keeps rolling on, no matter how hard I keep trying to buckle down and hit up some more serious reads again.There were just a couple of weird scenes near the front of the book comparing human mating with animals that threw me off, and this author uses a few bedroom te...

By reading the back cover blurb for this book you would expect the story to be about "the battle between the lady and the rake is about to begin". Which it is.....Lady Justine is willing to become her friends (I just can't think of a better word right now) mistress in exchange for him helping to get...
