Review # 1 was written on 2010-12-11 00:00:00 Omari Stridiron Good writing, but I had a hard time liking the heroine in this one. From almost the first attraction she has for the hero (who is engaged to another women), she openly flirts with him (in front of his fiance, no less), and constantly thinks about how she wishes he'd jilt his fiance for her. She doesn't even seem to feel a twinge of guilt that such an action would humiliate the fiance, who was a nice person. Considering that a year before, the heroine had herself been jilted, you'd think she'd be reluctant for another innocent woman to have to experience that same humiliation. But she doesn't really seem to care. It's all about what she wants. If the author had shown some more pangs of conscience on the part of the heroine, I would have liked this book better. Instead, her only sad thoughts were about how the hero would never elope with her because he's a duke and she's so far beneath him socially. Or how hurt she was when she herself was jilted, never considering that she wants the hero to do the exact same thing to someone else who doesn't deserve to be treated badly. I gave this two stars because the writing itself was good. The dialogue was engaging, the words flowed, and the story grabbed my attention, so I might give this author another try.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-17 00:00:00 David Berges It started off so strong but it died halfway when I realized the main problem was them moping and complaining that they couldn't be together and then thinking maybe it'll be okay in the end if they weren't together and then finding ways to be together. It also just felt so dumb cause these two couples were caught up in this drama.
