Title: could have been good if....
Product review: I gave this book one star for two major reasons. First of all, I do not feel the heroins reasons for becoming a prostitute were good enough. She was given the option to be a companion to her ex-governess now head mistress of the brothel but was to proud to except this thinking she wouldn't really be earning her keep. I am sorry but this seems weak. I also think she could have found a better job even without adequit references. Secondly, The hero does not want the heorine to get any enjoyment out of making love. He just wants her to lay there and not move. What really made me mad was that after they do finally have a few weeks of truly making love and she is recieving actual pleasure he goes back to making love the old way without feeling and makes her lay still without giving her any release. The book ends without them ever having a decent love scene again. I guess we are suppose to asume they will. I cannot fault the writing style. It is what I like about Mary Balogh.
