A Precious Jewel Book

This is a good book but not an amazing one. One of those that you will find nice to read but you won't remember in two weeks. There are some better books by Stephanie Laurens out there.

As usual with Stephanie Laurens, we are dealing with very well outlined and interesting characters. And we're talking about four pairs here! And in a fairly short book! The main pair is Caroline and Max. In my opinion, the least interesting of all couples. Sarah and Darcy as well as Arabella and Hugo are much more remarkable. I would like to see Arabella and Hugo as the main one. Unfortunately, they are definitely on the margins of the whole story. It is a pity.

I am not entirely convinced about the motives that guide Max from the very beginning. As soon as he meets Caroline, he decides to seduce her. And without fail implements his plan. For what purpose? To make her his lover? It doesn't really suit the romance hero. This is a bit strange and vague.

Anyway, the story is okay, could be better.
