Negative Positive
Title: Boring
Review: This was my first Jo Beverley book and quite sure it's gonna be the last. After a promising start that had me very intrigued, the book went incredibly slow and bored me to tears with bits that were as useful as water is to wine. It took ages for something to happen between Lucien and Beth. Okay, I generally don't like sex too early in a book but in this story things are postponed way too much and eventually (my) anticipation turned into a solid "who cares?". Besides, I never managed to like the heroine: for this that she is described as a bluestocking I found her rather dull and not very intelligent at all.There were other details that annoyed me, such as Lucien being the result of an affair his mother had had when the Duke was away hunting. Pity! I really liked the Duke and I wished he hadn't loved his wife that dearly. She simply was undeserving of his devotion, IMHO. I so believe that both the hero and his "father" deserved better heroines.
Is the review positive or negative?
