review 1: First let me say I purchased this book comparing it to another from Lisa Kleypas. She did a set of book about the Hathaways and their governess Catherine Marks. This book was very similar. The further I read the more I compared the two, it was hard not to. The book did start to take it's own twists and turns but by then I missed the way LK's books were written and it was hard for me to enjoy this book for what it was. That was the disappointment. It did end nicely but the hero (Charles) was no Leo from LK's book ,unfortunately, and Carlotta ( hated the name) was no Catherine Marks. There were a lot of comments made about the indecency of Charles and his lack of self control. He did seem to contradict himself but I think that showed his passion for the heroin so it didn't... more bother me and they were kisses. Some of the reviews lead me to believe they were more, they weren't. The books I usually read in this genre do escalate these passionate scenes so I missed that in this book. I think if I wouldn't have went in with another book already in mind I would have enjoyed it more.
review 2: This is a historical romance story and I don't want to give any of the storyline away, the description covers the main points.The pace was good, and the story flowed with the characters fitting in well.My only small comment was the end, I was happily enjoying what was going on when it kinda stopped. To me it felt like the end was preparing us for the next story (which I hope is true as I'd like to read it), and I would have liked "continue with the next book in the series etc..." blurb, if that was the case, instead of a different book.If I've misunderstood, then I would have made the final section an epilogue, showing the reader that the story has finished.Overall I enjoyed the story and the writing. I now look forward to reading more books. less
