Lots of fun. I agree with the other reviewer on this page: the plot is nothing revolutionary. In fact, the whole thing is a re-tread of Georgette Heyer's DEVIL'S CUB. And yet...I *really* enjoyed reading this. The hero and heroine were delightful (and consistently characterized); the plot clippe...

Anne Stuart, we need to have a talk about rape culture. And also a separate talk about recycling the same plot for two books in the same trilogy, right down to the late-chapter intrusion of a murder plot by a sociopathic relative who wants to inherit from one of the protagonists. But probably the ...

If there was actually a plot here, I definitely missed it. To me it seemed like a bunch of sex scenes loosely tied together. There is no story or development outside the bedroom, which makes me very much doubt whether it was love or lust those two were feeling.Plus, like seton says in her review, th...

3.5 stars. This worked better for me when I originally read it out of order; rereading it after having finally read Ruthless made some plot holes apparent. How could illegitimate Etienne possibly think he would inherit his cousin's title? And why did his character change so drastically from the fir...

Mmm! Delicious story, very funny, very sexy. Delightful secondary romance, although I found the tolerance of the vicar towards Monty and his "Heavenly Host" orgies rather hard to believe. My only criticism is for the villain and the murder plot, which is unconvincing and unnecessary. Surely the auth...

This veteran historical romance novel-reader asks this question: Do we really need any more rake heroes? No! They make me yawn and roll my eyes. But wait! What about Adrian, Viscount Rohan? Okay, maybe we can have a few rake heroes, as long as they are masterfully brought to life as Ms. Anne S...

Liked it better than the first in the series. Anne Stuart is always good for when you crave a dark Hero. :)

Wow. Wow. Wow. 4.5 stars -- just like Ruthless, but for a different reason. Ruthless I loved for the characters, the plotting, the dialogue, the story. Reckless I loved for Adrian and Charlotte. If you are drawn to the spinster/rake formula (my absolute favourite) the premise to this book is a...

This book started off slow to me. I felt that it was all over the place. Then it picked up once Charlotte goes to the Heavenly Host. I think I was more into the sex than the actual romance until halfway through it. The side romance became a distraction to me because I wanted more time to focus on th...
