review 1: This is my kind of book. Unlike most historical romances, this book concentrates on the two main characters with no nasty sub plots interfering, which I really liked for a change. I loved the way the words flew off the page when reading, gripping you with such an intensity that you had to keep on reading. The sensuality of the book is first rate and I loved the scene in the bedroom when our heroine is caught under the bed! The book cover explains the book well, so I won't repeat and spoil your pleasure when reading, and pleasure it is. There were a few typo's, not enough to put me off, but frustrating when reading, would suggest that the author changes her proof reader, as this would only enhance her appeal to a wider audience (nothing worse when reading a review and p... moreeople keep mentioning typo's). If you are looking for a sensual historical romance, look no further, you found it!
review 2: Warning spoilers!!!I was disappointed by this book. The set up sounded very fun and sexy. A drunk Henry has a sexy interlude in his garden that results in his finding an earring belonging to the unknown lady and the chase is on. Well in theory, but then his friends get involved and meddle.We find out the mysterious lady is Lady Amy who has been in love with Henry since she was 15. Her father (a Duke) is trying to get her married in a hurry so that he can spend time with his "other family" that he has with his mistress (his wife is deceased) and as a result of his "other" life Amy wants to married for love. Henry wants the same thing.I think that was the problem. This couple have no issues, scandals or dramas to overcome or deal with. Instead, many little things became overly dramatic and they then had to deal with them. Amazingly enough all the issues stem from Chesterton/Creeperton that neither likes nor trusts but he's to be believed where the other is concerned????Then there were issues that genuinely should have needed some dealing with that were resolved in a single conversation. Henry visits Amy's father to ask for her hand, gives him a piece of his mind regarding his treatment of Amy and all of a sudden he has an epiphany. It comes across as ridiculous and unbelievable.I think Henry got deprived of the fun, interesting and sexy story that should have been his. This series started off strong and went progressively downhill to this story. Henry deserved better.(A further annoyance were the typos in this story. I generally don't let these bother me, but here they twice threw me out of the story. The one that springs to mind was "board shoulders". The other annoyance was about address. In part of the story Amy was referred to as Lady Shipton which is an incorrect term - would apply to the wife of the Lord not the daughter. Amy should always have been Lady Amy.) less
