- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jane Feather is very good at what she does, which is creating a froth of a book in which much depends upon the reader's willing suspension of disbelief and the charm of her main characters. Plus of course those details of food and clothing that readers of Regencies always adore. Jane is also one of the sexier Regency writers (the sort that darling older ladies used to long for when I was but a girl working in a library; they would entreat me to get them something spicy, with a wink). Being now a darling older lady myself I understand the draw, but it is certainly not limited to women of a certain age.
In her erotic scenes...well it is nice to find that the hero has a penis, not a throbbing member or an engorged shaft or a, ahem, manliness. The heroine doesn't fare quite so well (she has a nub and a core and a center, and I think there is throbbing involved).
But the real pleasure of the book is not in the erotic scenes (though hey, yes, they are fun) but in the "how on earth will our heroine get out of her crisis with safety and live happily ever after?" stuff. Yeah, we have last minute rescues and complications.
My one deep distress with this book is...so much is made of the library, of the rare books, of the precious tomes. And WE DON'T FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. (excuse, please, my raised voice amongst the stacks).1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book but not as much as I enjoyed the other two in the series. Who would have thought upstanding Peri would go so far for love.
