Not as good as the other book in this series that I read before. I'm not sure if this is because it's the first book and they get better as they go or not. Did not care for the end at all. Her leaving him in front of the church and then randomly deciding to go back after seeing the guy and his do...

The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long is quite the interesting tale of a man who is a bit of a celebrity who has been wrong convicted of murder and the only one could save him has conveniently disappeared. Colin Eversea has resigned himself to being hanged so imagine his surprise when he is resc...

I enjoyed 3 of the other books in this series so much that I was expecting this one, the one that starts it all off, to be much better than it was. Colin and Madeleine are both very appealing, but we learn very little about Madeleine as a person until fairly late in the book. The cross-class aspect ...

3.5 stars. I love JAL, I really do, and this was a fun read, but the 'mystery' was strangely convoluted, and never really made sense to me. The romance was fantastic, of course, from defensive banter to falling in loooove, but it tread the line between angst/unrequited/iloveanother/iwillneverloveag...
