review 1: Anna Seaton has been on the run for two years. She wants to confide in her employer, the Earl of Westhaven, a man she has grown to love, but she's been instructed not to trust a soul with her secret. When she receives word that her location has been revealed and the truth starts to close in around her, Anna decides it's time to run again. But this time, the employer is not letting her go so easily.
review 2: This is my first time dipping my toes into this genre... I mean, I've read historical romance before but this isn't exactly Outlander. This is also not my first time reading a book that follows the formulaic "handsome, wealthy man meets beautiful damsel in distress and then proceeds to have an appropriate number of sexual encounters with said woman (never... more less than three but usually not more than five lest the book become erotica and not romance)." Make the wealthy man a vampire and it becomes PNR and apparently, if you set the book in the past it becomes "historical romance." The tropes are the same, the characters are largely the same, the setting just varies.This is my first time reading an historical romance of this variety and I can't honestly say I was wowed. The characters were interesting enough but my inner historian was tingling with all the weird 21st century phrases and everyone's widespread support (and even encouragement) of the Earl's desire to marry his housekeeper. I can't imagine too many 19th century Dukes were that excited to see their heirs shack up with the help. Putting all that aside I felt like the pacing of the book was strange with some repetitive sections towards the end. The end also felt sort of anti-climactic and the will-they, won't-they got a little tiresome. Do couples ever communicate in romances?? But overall the book was a fun, escapist kind of thing, which is all I can really hope for in a romance. The steamy scenes were appropriately steamy and I appreciated that Burrowes didn't try to make her characters seem prudish. People were just as freaky back than as they are now and it was good to see that at work in this book. I'm a little excited to see what Burrowes has in store for the other brothers so I'll definitely be looking into books two and three. I don't know if I'm as interested in the Windham sisters, but who knows? I could be persuaded. less
