review 1: Despite hero and heroine getting it on pretty quickly (Gabriel a.k.a 'the masked highwayman', literally began the foreplay in the first few pages of the novel, in a carriage no less!) I liked it. Plot wasn't too great but it was a nice surprise to find that the letter Antoinette was so desperate to keep from him wasn't even the same letter he was looking for. He was right then, had she just handed it over in that carriage in the beginning he would never had to take almost all of her clothes off and ravish her with his hands lol But then where would they be? Not together that's for sure!
review 2: This novel offers a great opportunity reflect on the difference between three concepts: romantic, erotic, and pornographic. In this case, the author fully incorporate... mores the first two into her story. A romantic account describes the attraction that two people feel for each other and follows the development(or lack thereof) of their relationship. It incorporates the emotions, dreams, hopes, and frustrations of these individuals as they navigate perilous waters. A romance may be erotic if the sexual encounters are described in detail. Done properly, they could be labeled as "love scenes." Pornography, on the other hand, has only "sex scenes," as the emotions and relationship between the actors are irrelevant.After reading a book like this, it is clear why women are more likely to read erotic romance novels than watch pornography. Pornography only captures a fraction of what makes a sexual encounter so intoxicating. For most men, however, it is this sliver that most appeals to them.A further question is, "Why are men usually so dismissive of romance novels?" If you asked them, and they had any idea of what you were talking about, they would probably respond that these books are "unrealistic" or simply "female fantasy". Well, of course they are-- they are works of fiction. But so are many other genres, including crime and adventure novels, that men often enjoy. What is it about the romance novels that men don't like? Though few would admit it, I would speculate that they don't like how men are depicted in these books. I mean seriously, who would want to read a novel about a frompy, overweight, uninspired man who watches sports and eats at Appleby's? less
