review 1: I didn't like much about this book, but I did finish all of it. I found it kind of creepy that the hero had a large role in raising the heroine from the time that she was 7 and he was 25, and then ended up marrying her when she was 18. I'm not even sorry, that's just pretty gross to me. Plus the villain was so cartoonish, I'm surprised they didn't have a puppy cross her path so she could kick it. I like characters with a bit of nuance, and she didn't have it. Her children were much better realized, but not terribly interesting anyway. This wasn't a poorly written book, I just couldn't connect either to what was going on or to the characters. This series is a miss for me, and I'm not going to read the subsequent titles.
review 2: Not a very original story, but w... moreritten fairly well and I found myself liking the characters and finding it very enjoyable and entertaining. It would have been a four-star book except for the superfluous sex scenes that were indeed gratuitous and really didn't seem to belong in a Regency romance of this style. One of the things a lot of Regency fans like about the period was the civility and romance of the courtship manners of that era. Adding porn to this process is akin to adding sex scenes to an Amish Romance--the silly porn serves no good purpose to the story but does contaminate the authenticity of the romance. The sex scenes as inappropriately crammed into this story ended up being a negative factor that just did not fit, especially for readers who are mature enough to already know how to do it, so that we don't need to have a sex manual included. less
