review 1: I got this book because it was free on Kindle, I had an event coming up where I'd have plenty time to read but would be interrupted a lot and so wanted light fiction, and because I don't recall ever reading a romance/smutty book before.It was fun - not especially historically accurate, but for crying out loud, it's a porny book, so that's alright really. Heavily idealised characters, plot that's thin and predictable, but not too cringeworthy in the sex bits (most of the time...) and it passed the time.
review 2: I received Taffeta & Hotspur free for kindle and thought "why not". I'm typically not overly enamored of traditional regency style romances; and that is the reason for the middle of the road rating. If I really enjoyed this genre then I would probably ... morehave rated it a little higher as it seemed to be fairly well written.I liked that the story was straight forward and that we were not tortured with any angsty "big misunderstandings". I did not understand the appeal of Tarrant and thought his character could have been better developed. It's not that I found him unappealing, I just didn't get what was so special about him. I don't understand the moniker "hotspur" in reference to him, and for some reason I also found it a little annoying. The Bing dictionary reference tells me that a "hotspur" is a rash or impetuous person - which sounds more like Taffy not Tarrant. And speaking of Taffeta, I had no major complaints with her although I did think the whole love scene was a little...odd...and the only thing I kept thinking was...wow, I guess no one's concerned about pregnancy.Other than that T&H had the obligatory quirky family side kicks, the sweet secondary character romance and the odious villain. If you like this sort of genre then it isn't half bad. less
