Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-27 00:00:00 Lenard Williams I tried to read this book. Really tried, but I just can't finish it. It's so utterly ridiculous. It's set in the early 1800's (1813-1814) and the heroine, Alex, is 17 years old...yet she runs around doing whatever she pleases with no consequences. She wonders London on her own, not getting into trouble, goes off with men all by herself and there's no fallout. She swears like a modern day woman. She dresses up like a man and sneaks in places. She sneaks looks at naked me, tries to seduce the hero by hiding her identity. I've skimmed later scenes and know that she somehow manages to get a job entertaining (dancing, not whoring) at a brothel. And who knows what else she does. It's just too much too believe. And the twin thing and the fact that no one, not even the heroine, can tell Nick and Christopher apart is driving me nuts. Plus the storyline is boring me to tears. But it's how historically unrealistic the book is that's killing it. Even the dialogue often seems too modern. I skimmed a few parts later in the book and the ending, but I just can't read any more. So this one is going to be stuck in "did-not-finish" purgatory. Maybe I'll try to read another chapter or two now and then, but I've got much more interesting books waiting on my TBR shelf.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-18 00:00:00 E.cordell Johnson Iv It is not often that I read historical romance books but this is one that I have read at least four times. Ms. Henley's characters are so fleshed out that you feel as if you know them. The good / cowardly twin dynamic is intriguing. The love scenes are breathtaking and you will end up indignant at Kit by the end.
