Midnight Angel
This book had several elements of a bad soap opera: selective amnesia, opium abuse, a homosexual love triangle, psychic abilities, child molestation, crazy Russian kin and a tiger. Yes, a tiger. ROAR! Pretty ridiculous all in all, but if I've learned one thing from this book it's that even a klunker from Lisa Kleypas is a more enjoyable read than the average historical romance.
The first half of the book flew by and was quite enjoyable but the second half fell to pieces once ridiculous antic after ridiculous antic ensued.
Him: Lord Lucas Stokehurst. Widower. Loved his dead wife and has sworn to never love again. Missing a hand and wears a hook in its place. Doting father to a fiery-haired pre-teen daughter, Emma.
Her: Lady Anastasia Kaptereva. Russian exile. Wanted for the murder of a man she doesn't remember murdering. Flees to England and lands a role as governess to Emma Stokehurst. Makes Stokehurst feel like he's alive again.
They fell in love. Made out a few times. Played some nekkid games. Bla-bla-bla. The chemistry was weak, hence the bla-bla-bla. And the book ended with the suggestion of a sequel and it seemed like Emma Stokehurst (the underage daughter) and Nicolas Angelovsky (Tasia's wicked Russian cousin) were on deck to fall for each other next.
It was pretty lame.
