This book has a thin plot around raw sex. No well bred victorian girl would go to bed withsome just to find out about about sex.

Returned unread when I realized its about 10th in a series. Surely I should read some of the earlier ones first to find out who the heck the Cynsters are..

Goodreads review by Tessa on January 25, 2023

"Cu ea, el urma un alt scenariu, unul menit sa-i cucereasca mai mult decat trupul. Ii voia mintea si sufletul, in aceeasi masura."

Its just that, when I read a romance novel, I don't want a subplot taking up so much of the book that I hardly get to see the hero and heroine together. And whenever I did see them together, they were making love! I mean sure......more

Goodreads review by Viki on February 05, 2022

I quite liked this book (audiobook version), the couple is more balanced in that they are friends, or at least long time acquaintances though family ties and both are in the mid 20s, not too young and naive or old and jaded. Both of them are arrived at a similar placed in their lives, they want a fa......more
