review 1: Grace our heroine agrees to marry an evil man so as to save her sister. But she has a plan. She will lose her virginity so that her evil suitor will have to reject her. She pretends to be a prostitute for one night and she ends up sleeping with Duke Vincent. He is a very tortured man. He has lost two wives and two children to childbirth and refuses to marry or risk his heart again. When Grace ends up pregnant he decides marriage to her is inevitable but he tries to keep his distance. He is afraid of loving and losing again but of course true love conquers all his fears and they live happily ever after! Perfect read. I love a sweet brave and compassionate heroine and a smitten caring protective hero! Dreamy!
review 2: Setting: 1858 LondonGenre: RomanceLady Grac... moree has seen her 6 younger sisters wed to the men of their choosing. Now she wants to avoid marriage to a hypocritical, sanctimonious, perverted man by being able to tell him she's not a virgin. She hopes to return to the country and just run her father's household (but who do you suppose set her up to marry the perv?) Vincent has already lost 2 wives in childbirth and has vowed to never marry and condemn another woman to a similar, agonizing death. Grace goes to a brothel run by a childhood friend to get hooked up with la stranger to take her virginity, Vincent get's conned into doing the job, but then realizes Grace is no prostitute. He also realizes, the next morning, that he failed to take his usual method of birth control (damn that passion!). So the story is about the couple getting beyond the anger, fear, guilt, and despair, to love and their HEA. There are a couple of villains involved.I wasn't able to get through the entire book. I skipped chapters at a time and didn't lose anything by it. You know how, back in the day, you could watch a soap opera for a while, leave it for a couple of years, and when you watch again not much has changed? Yeah, like that. The author was so heavy handed with the foreshadowing, there wasn't much tension. The characters were one-dimensional. This was a great premise poorly executed.The narration probably made the whole experience much worse. Vincent sounded constipated. And Grace sounded insipid. And all of it was overwrought and melodramatic.This was on sale and it was STILL overpriced. less
