Legend of St. Dwynwen

review 1: When plain and proper Thea Bainbridge stumbles upon a baby in the manger of her church's nativity, she is shocked. Finding a brooch bearing the insignia of Gabriel, Lord Morecombe hidden among the child's clothing, she's certain the dissolute rake is to blame. Thea sets out to reproach the arrogant lord -- only to find herself utterly swept away. Gabriel maintains his innocence, but the brooch is one he remembers all too well ...I, particularly, enjoyed the characterization of both Thea (Althea) and Lord Gabriel. There is just the right amount of sexual tension and humor between the two. This is one of my favorite CC books. Ms. Camp handles the delicate balance of advancing the story lien with dialogue and narrative sections.
review 2: 2.5-3 stars.SEE HERE'S TH... moreE THING: I LIKED THEA. I thought she was spunky and unique and I enjoyed her as a heroine muchly. Gabriel, however, was a blank of a hero. Camp seems to do this thing (at least within the St. Dwynwen series) where she has the traditional POV trade-off for the first 3 chapters or so...and then the large majority of rest of the story is entirely told from the POV of the heroine. Which is fine! It's just not what I was expecting, and it makes getting a handle on the hero rather difficult. I also felt like there was a bit too much "summing up" of their relationship? Like, the text itself is so busy attempting to establish sexual tension that when the characters do get down to connecting and bonding and ~falling in love, it felt hurried and more like telling than showing. less
