review 1: I'm sitting here trying to figure out how many days they knew each other before their marriage of convenience. I think it was...3 or 4. Then it was basically 24 hours before they declared their undying love for each other....WOW. deep love there y'all. Though at least this book had a somewhat legit reason that she could still be his virgin bride. Though I think the author felt a little uneasy after the fact, afraid that she might have vilified gay people unintentionally, so interjected an "But I'm totes okay with gay people" thought process by the hero. The writing wasn't horrible, and overall I liked the characterization and dialogue. I knocked off a star for the timeline. I mean...I'm used to some ridiculous love at first sight stories, but this one was just a little too... more quick for me.
review 2: Very good book. I really liked both Pandora and Rupert. Pandora's husband was killed in a duel the year before and she was blamed for it. This has set her up to be treated badly by men of the ton. Rupert saves her from an attack and then appears to be pursuing her for himself. She is very wary about trusting Rupert. I liked the way that she stood up for herself when she wanted to. It is also apparent that she is a very kind person at heart, who watches out for the people she cares about. I loved Rupert. He seemed very arrogant at first, especially when Pandora overheard him talking to his friend. I loved the way he came to Pandora's rescue and then how he took care of her and got her home. I loved his protectiveness and the way he was so fascinated by her. He was surprised by the depth of his feelings for her, beyond just the attraction. I loved the way they would be getting along just fine, then arguing, then giving in to passion. My favorite part of the book was the confrontation with Rupert's stepmother - Pandora was fantastic! I also enjoyed the mystery of the break-ins at her house and the revealing of the villain. less
