Desire

review 1: 3.5 stars. This is the first in the Desire Series in Regency England. The story begins with the Countess of Worthington, Lily St. Auben, out in the middle of the night in her nightgown looking over a cliff at her dead husband. She is running away through the night and in labor when she is "rescued" by the 8th Duke of Westlake, Arthur. Lily is only 18 and had been forced into marriage at 15 by an uncaring guardian, her uncle. She is abused by her husband and spends a horrible 3 years with her husband before his death. Eventhough Lily is only 18, I still found her to be immature for her age and very weak. I also had a problem with the duke and his inability to communicate. Can't you just talk to each other? They also mentioned that Lily found the duke to be two diffe... morerent people, but it was never really explained in a logical manner. Otherwise, an interesting historical romance.
review 2: The story starts off with a thump and a bang, and with a big squalling cry as the hero delivers a baby in the woods. That worked for me but then my mommy-mind got all sidetracked by the heroine's post-baby behavior. Two days after giving birth, she's ready to take the baby and dash off who knows where. On foot. Without nappies. I remember that the totality of my travel plans was to the bathroom and back, with maybe a detour to the fridge. And her nursing schedule was a fright. A day would go by without feeding her baby. Maybe there was a wet-nurse but still, I remember the girls getting all drippy and plump if--okay, probably TMI, eh? Besides all that, I was distracted by the various typos and editing errors. Still, I read the entire book because in the end, I liked Lily and Arthur, despite my desire to sort out their parenting problems. less
