Negative Positive
Title: Unlikely plot leaving me unconvinced.
Review: I loved More than a Mistress and this is a follow up telling the story of of Ferdinand, the younger brother of the Duke of Tresham. It's quite nice to meet up with Tresham and Jane again, in fact those are the best bits of this book. For me Ms Balogh's attempt to turn the tables and match a male virgin with a female courtesan did not work at all. I disliked the fact that she was forced into prostitution, her mother's complete ignorance of her lifestyle seemed odd to me and then as a grand finale the courtesan (who is pretty notorious amongst the gentlemen of the ton) is reinstated into society...... Um... I don't think so.
Is the review positive or negative?
