Title: Not entertaining
Product review: I have to disagree with what seems to be the general feeling - I didn't like this book! The plot was terrible. Cressida's father loses everything to an evil man in a card game - including some erotic statues. One of these statues has gems in it that would save the family from ruin. So Cressida sets out to get the statue by agreeing to be the man's mistress but a highwayman kidnaps her and ends that plan.The highwayman is actually Tris, our hero, playing at larceny. From there, nothing happens as the pair try to get the statue back.Ms. Beverley tried to make it a very sensual book with the couple dressing up in silk and attending an orgy. But it just didn't seem to work in this case. "I want...I want to be closer to you, Tris, than I've ever been to anyone since I slid messily from my mother's womb." To me, things like that kill the mood.I still enjoy Jo Beverley's books, just not this one in particular.
