...Oh, I liked this one too. Rohan was to die for. <br /><br />I <em>might</em> have thought Elinor too martyr-y but for that she was willing for her sister to marry the doctor, knowing she didn't love him but it was best for the family, Elinor included. I thought her view was fair enough given the times and it wasn't like being married to the doctor would have been awful (at least, from what we know of him in this book.... *backs away mysteriously*) but it wasn't "lurrve" either so I was kind of pleasantly surprised that she was prepared for sis to make the sacrifice and even encouraged it. <br /><br />But it was Rohan who made the book. *swoon* :DKaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-74846426093731564342010-08-17T10:52:41.341-04:002010-08-17T10:52:41.341-04:00Nice review, Kristie :D I'm not sure if I'...Nice review, Kristie :D I'm not sure if I'm going to read this series because Anne Stuart is pretty much hit and miss with me...

I'm reading a book right now with a heroine who was not a beauty (although considered striking because of certain features) but, lo and behold, she all of a sudden is the most beautiful in the ton. I guess she had to morph into beautiousness since her personality was so annoying and volatile that an HEA between the hero and heroine would have been a hard sell for some readers. Oh yeah and the freckles (she was a flaming red-head) that she had up until she was at least 17 were miraculously gone when the hero and heroine next see each other. Of course, because a woman with freckles may as well have the pox in a romance novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-91502375314828731432010-08-16T04:58:02.069-04:002010-08-16T04:58:02.069-04:00Oh, I like to the edge bad boy heroes :) And this ...Oh, I like to the edge bad boy heroes :) And this cinched it for me:<br /><br /><i>So when he meets Elinor, a rather plain, prickly young woman...</i><br /><br />Plain?

Because she was one of the first to take these heroes to that edge. I asked her if her publisher ever thought she went to far and told her to reel it back in. Her response was no, they trusted her :) I thought that was cool!Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-63550074460544550592010-08-14T12:49:27.166-04:002010-08-14T12:49:27.166-04:00Ditto what CindyS said.

If she hadn't been essentially sold to that old pervert when she was 17, then I probably would have found her too self-sacrificing. But, given her experience and her mother's unpredictability and obvious unrepentent willingness sacrifice her daughters for her own selfish pleasures, I could see why Elinor would go to such lengths to protect her sister. <br /><br />I really liked the book and would recommend it to anyone who likes a darker hero who you want to hate and be disgusted with, but just can't because he can be so damn charming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-58755408171343513662010-08-14T01:17:12.562-04:002010-08-14T01:17:12.562-04:00I loved Rohan because he was so friggin' charm...I loved Rohan because he was so friggin' charming despite being such an ass!
