review 1: Although the characters could have been developed to produce an engaging story, this book was boring, colorless and banal. The main plot line is the miscommunication between the married couple.The author describes at length every little detail of the heroine's fears and anxieties, adding nothing to the story apart from the sense that the girl is a nitwit. It does, however, succeeds on leaving the reader with a permanently frustrated feeling about what's happening.The love scenes are described in short paragraphs. You would expect that a book titled "The Viscount and the Virgin" would have a better deflowering scene than this one:"When he made them one flesh, she felt complete for the first time in her life(...)"Also, the cover doesn't resemble the characters description in... more the slightest, which is a huge pet peeve of mine.
review 2: Being in possession of a low-level hangover I was after reading something light and undemanding, this book is nothing if not that.A romance in which every obstacle to the main couple's happiness is purely miscommunication which gets resolved in the final pages leaving them to their happy-ever-after, this was inoffensive enough stuff, although I think it would have been a much better story had Imogen told everyone around her to sod off and gone off on her own instead....I'm probably not really the audience for romance novels in that case, am I?! less
