Critic reviews

"With an exquisite finesse, Laurens manipulates the sexual tension between her dark, dangerous hero and her clever heroine into sensually charged love scenes, and the book's swashbuckling climax, worthy of Dumas, should please readers who like a bit of adventure along with a passionate love story." ( Booklist)

Liked this book. Was wary after reading later instalments of the series before this one as they had prolonged chapters full of intimate scenes. This one did have a couple but not too graphic. Liked having a glimpse of the aristocracy and their world

Great series teaser

The story was good enough without the sex. The narrator is very good and I thought his reading of the sexy bits was a bit tongue in cheek.

Gung-ho with soft porn

liked story line but it was diluted by so much description and too much prolonged intimacy

Good storyline But.....

Excellent narrator, I'll look for more he has narrated.
Some of the 'soliloquys' were a bit repetitive but an intriguing pair of protagonists.
I found some of the sex scenes a bit boring, though.

A fair romp.

Loved it. But it dragged on a bit. The heroine was very stubborn and a bit annoying. Loved Sebastian the hero though. Got very nice and steamy halfway through.
The narrator was very good. First time listening to him and definitely won't be the last. Now on to the next one.

Loved it
