Title: Unbelievable plot; hero deserved a better heroine
Product review: I was really, really looking forward to reading this book. It combined a Victorian setting with a classic Gothic plot, and it had a heroine who had been unfairly tarred by scandal. All elements I love to read about.However, you can have all those elements and still have a book that simply does not work. Why? The heroine. Sometimes, she's clever -- but most of the time, she does stupid things. She yearns for the cad who almost took her virginity. And worst of all, she suspects the charming hero of murder -- even though there is no evidence at all. Steede deserved better than this!To make matters worse, the plot hinged on coincidence after coincidence, with gaping holes in logic.I gave this book an F at All About Romance.
