I am so glad you enjoyed the book. <br /><br />I picked up the <i>Lord of Scoundrels</i> a couple of weeks ago and I really liked that one too. --I'll definitely be reading more from Loretta Chase!Jen at Red Hot Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898978782639965956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185738780824295377.post-66208425128113155942012-04-07T20:53:47.963-05:002012-04-07T20:53:47.963-05:00I happened upon your recommendation on this book a...I happened upon your recommendation on this book and have just finished reading it. THANK YOU! I thought it was fantastic!<br /><br />What really made this book stand out to me was the excellent prose; it was intelligent and clever and well-written, and I didn't find the characters silly or one-dimensional like in so many other books in this genre. Also, as the romance is drawn out (as they inevitably are), I felt it was done so with logic and depth, unlike other books where the reasoning for the lovers' separation is very shallow. I so empathized with the characters that at their first liaison, I felt heartbroken myself, because I knew as they did that it could never work. It was very well done.<br /><br />I was also entranced by the world of a modiste in this era (the reason I decided to try it in the first place), and though Marcelline's attitudes felt perhaps anachronistic, I was delighted to see that aspect of history portrayed through her eyes.<br /><br />In short, if this was an accurate sample of Loretta Chase's work, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy going through all the rest of her books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
