review 1: Not my kind of story. But many like this.I read 130 pages and stopped. There was a lot of pondering one’s feelings, tempting each other with kisses, and descriptive writing. I just wasn’t interested in the characters or the set up. I was bored. Lucy loves Toby. Toby plans to marry Sophia. So Lucy wants to seduce Toby and convince him to marry her instead. Toby knows Lucy wants him but he doesn’t want to tell Lucy the truth. So Toby asks Jeremy to occupy and distract Lucy until Toby proposes to Sophia later. Toby wants to delay getting engaged because he’s enjoying his bachelor days. Lucy wants to make Toby jealous and asks Jeremy to help her. Jeremy reluctantly agrees to help each of them. When he kisses Lucy he feels lust.This reminded me of Whitney, ... moreMy Love and Gone With The Wind because the heroine has an obsessive love for a man who does not reciprocate but leads her on. The hero is aware of this. If you like this trope, consider Whitney, My Love. I gave 5 stars to the expanded version (not original version).I’ve read five books by this author. She is not a winner for me, but I really enjoyed one of her books, a novella, The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 360 pages. Swearing language: mild. Sexual content: some. Setting: 1817 England. Copyright: 2009. Genre: regency romance.
review 2: The most telling bit about this novel is that I read it just two days ago and I totally forgot about it. There was something about this story that left me saying meh. Part of it came from the notion that I've read this story before and that story was better (at least it is in my head.) The characters are a bit cookie cutter, boring and predictable as is the entire story itself. It's also difficult to not compare this with other Tessa Dare novels that are just a treat to read. This is missing a bit of pop and fun her other novels generally leave me with. It's a quick read. I finished it in about three hours and nothing about it made me want to throw it across the room, I just didn't particularly enjoy it. It's fine if you're in need of a quick read or just like to read everything by one of your fave authors, but I doubt it'll join your favorites list. less
