review 1: Excerpt:Beauty and her beast . . . Viscount Nicholas Stoneworth is infamous—even being mentioned in the same breath with him is enough to ruin a lady's reputation. Why, the man's spent years in London's underworld pursuing every sort of vice while parlaying his hard muscled body into fame and fortune as a fighter! With his brother's untimely death, Nicholas must assume the title and relearn the civilized ways of the ton . . . and proper Jane Fenton is more than willing to teach him everything she knows. Circumstances may have forced Jane into the role of ladies' companion, but she knows the danger of associating with a notorious man like Nicholas, a man who could tempt any woman into certain scandal. But her brother disappeared into the same underworld four long years ag... moreo, and if she transforms the libertine into a gentleman, he will use his connections to find him. Still, Jane will not—cannot—lose control. She must ignore the promise of sinful pleasure in his eyes . . . and her own wild desires desperate to break free.I had high hopes for this book. The cover is drop dead gorgeous, the excerpt sounded really interesting, and i've heard good things about it. Unfortunately for me it fell flat. It started out great in the beginning but it lost my interest later on. I find it hard to stay with the book. The plot just seemed to be lagging and i could almost figure out everything that was going to happen. Plus neither Jane nor Nicolas really appealed to me. Normally if at least one character appeals to me then i can keep reading with interest. This time neither did. It's sad that i really have nothing to say about the book because it was just so "ok" to me. The plot was ok (and so slow), the characters were ok, and everything was just ok.
review 2: I was in the mood for a light historical and this fit the bill. This is the first book I've read by Jenna Petersen. I really enjoyed the characters. It was interesting to me that Nicholas was such a contrast. With Jane he was so sweet and tender I had to remind myself he wasn't always like that. Jane I enjoyed for most of the novel, but her actions toward the end marred her somewhat IMO. She let hate and rage fuel herself for so long, I expected to see some kind of character growth by the end. Unfortunately it didn't come..not to my satisfaction. Still, the romance worked, as did the overall story arc, so I can't complain too much. Especially since I stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish it. less
