review 1: I got this book because I was intrigued by the blurb. With every book I read I try to keep an open mind to all the events that take place. Reading this book was, to me, like reading an historical romance novel but with graphic sex scenes, as one would find in contemporary erotic novels. What I liked about this one is that while the language was graphic it stayed true to its historical tone. Even the language during the sex scenes were indicative of the period (really, who says cunny nowadays). I kept on expecting the husband to do something utterly frightening or disgusting or cruel because of his reference to the beast inside him but he's just very sexual with a big secret, something "ladies" are not to be aware of. I don't like that he cheated (that is what he did, TWICE... more!) even if it was with his wife and I didn't like that she thought marital happiness was hinged on satisfying her husband sexually. Then again I do like that her pursuit of his sexual satisfaction made her see the side of himself that he, otherwise, would have kept hidden and that he lost his opinion of her being a paragon of purity not to dirtied. All in all I liked the book and would read more of this author's work.
review 2: This the first novell that I read from Ms. Callaway. I got intrigued with series because of the novella, although it is not really connected on the first book more on the 2nd book. I got surprised when I saw at KOBO this book is free. Yipee! I have the first book to read already.Inspite of the poor rating it has, I am gald I read this book. The admire a lot the heroine and sometimes I pity her. I some got tired for the hero who kept hurting the heroine. This is kind of new plot and flow story. I don't complain about the smexy scenes, but I do hope it will be lessened. For me it is too much. It would be better if she replace those intimate scenes with a more story about the past of the hero. The mystery of the killer somewhat lost on me. I forgot about it. I got more hooked up on how the heroine will win the hero back. Well, I preferred there is more on the mystery and more deeper emotions for the hero.Nevertheless, I liked the story and very excited for 2nd book :)I giving it 3.5 stars. less
