review 1: 2.5 Stylistically well-written, but character development is told rather than shown, and the suspense isn't very suspenseful. And I really find it annoying when the surface gender ideology (our heroine is a smart, unconventional scientist) is at odds with the implicit gender ideology (our heroine is passive, worried, stuttering, fights her sexual attraction to the rakish hero then gives in to it for no good reason, and lets others make her decision for her). "But intriguingly enough, despite her protests, she hadn't been averse to his attentions. Indeed, her words had said one thing, but her body had said quite another" (49). Bait and switch -- yuck!
review 2: This story of a widow and a rake sounds a bit so-so from the description but the widow is a chemistry... more scholar and the dialogue between the two is deliciously naughty. The rake is rampant, wicked and witty and absolutely adorable, with a wonderfully attractive joie de vivre, and both the hero and heroine are intelligent and forthright, sonething i really like in my historical romances The general dialogue is more similar to what I imagine people would have actually said at drunken parties than the normal brooding formalities and that helped to make it a thoroughly entertaining, refreshing read. less
