Not sure how to characterize it, really. I liked it, but was unhappy with it at the same time. No help, I'm sure.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-62538365812381783532010-03-01T12:53:43.688-05:002010-03-01T12:53:43.688-05:00Hey Hilcia, Yes, there was a fairly plausible expl...Hey Hilcia, Yes, there was a fairly plausible explanation for Juliana's lucky escape. Although, it wasn't revealed until after her rescue, which I thought was interesting. I figured Hawkins wouldn't let her have sex with anyone else, but until that was revealed, I wasn't 100% positive, given the dark view of the aristocracy presented in the book.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-42489035738888108042010-03-01T11:31:49.669-05:002010-03-01T11:31:49.669-05:00I'm glad you review this book, Lori... since i...I'm glad you review this book, Lori... since it's on my list to read this month. Hmm, I'm not sure I'm going to like the story, but at least, I'm not going in blind ^_^;<br /><br />It sounds like an incomplete story to me though...nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-54877604217692964452010-03-01T08:14:53.086-05:002010-03-01T08:14:53.086-05:00Nice review, Lori!

Lots of gray areas in this book.:) <br /><br />Was there a good reason for Juliana's "miraculous" (quoting Kaetrin) escape from having sex while being passed around the different men in the second half of the book?Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-55867707545711349732010-03-01T00:51:01.398-05:002010-03-01T00:51:01.398-05:00Kaetrin, no sex for either of them in the second ...Kaetrin, no sex for either of them in the second half of the book. So no cheating. No, he's not Russian. I kept waiting for his name to be shortened to Alex, but it never was. He's known as Sin, short for Sinclair (his last name).<br /><br />I don't recall a ton of groveling, but he definitely had to give her a lot of I love yous. I thought she rolled over too easily, though. And he did tell his sister to bugger off near the end, but only as it pertained to discussing Juliana. We never really find out if they have any further difficulties. I think that everyone is accepted at face value and almost nobody is held accountable for their actions except perhaps Sin and Juliana.<br /><br />Odd that I was left with the feeling that I enjoyed it, huh? It sure sounds like I didn't. I think her voice is quite strong and I liked that. I'll give the next one a go to see if it's any different.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-44962525992991331462010-02-28T23:34:21.209-05:002010-02-28T23:34:21.209-05:00Hmmm.

When Juliana's being passed around in the second half of the book, does she have sex with the, er, passees or does she have "miraculous" (or humdrum for that matter) escapes from the deed?<br /><br />I think I'd have a problem with the mother and Belinda as you did. How does Alexius (?is he Russian?) reconcile what his sister asked him to do with his HEA?<br /><br />It's possible that Alexius is too much of a rake for me to be happy with him. You obviously believed in the HEA - did he do much grovelling?<br /><br />thx for the review.Kaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-73175020988340758052010-02-26T10:01:26.693-05:002010-02-26T10:01:26.693-05:00The mother/daughter(s) relationships sounds really...The mother/daughter(s) relationships sounds really strange. And I'm not sure I like that the h/h are apart for what sounds like a good chunk of the book. <br /><br />Nice review Lori but I'll probably pass on this one. :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.com
