review 1: I really, really wanted to like this book. I received it as part of the First Reads program, and was excited about reading what would be my first Harlequin historical, as well as my first Love Inspired. While I'm not usually one for Christian novels, the plot seemed fun and I love a good historical. Weirdly enough, it wasn't the heroine's awkward inner reflections on her religion that bugged me the most, it was the extremely creepy vibe that I got off of the hero. I think he was supposed to be a tortured, secretly-sensitive hero, but all I got from him was poet/possible serial killer. And even if the hero weren't sketchy, he didn't have any chemistry with the heroine at all. During all of their scenes together I was much more concerned with his bizarre history with her fat... moreher, which doesn't bode well for a romance novel.
review 2: Excellent! A very excellent read! The book was well written and the characters were wonderful! Vaughn was such a complex character being both a poet and an infamous duelist. He lured you in with his senstivity and poetry but could also be your knight in shining armor and protector with his dueling skills! The mystery of Imogene's father also added an element that kept the pages turning! This book is fabulous! less
