Negative Positive
Title: Beware...
Review: This was a very strange book. I read a lot of historical/regency romances, and don't mind explicit sex, but I thought this was really in the category of soft-core porn. Why? The scenes were extremely explicit -- no euphemisms -- and it felt to me as though the plot only existed as an excuse for the sex scenes. At the beginning of the book, the heroine watches through a peephole as the "hero" is "serviced" by several different women as part of a house party turned orgy, all of it very explicitly described. I don't think of myself as a prude, and of course I don't mind at all if other people enjoy this, but don't buy this book thinking you're getting a steamy romance along the lines of Stephanie Laurens, Eloisa James, or Lisa Kleypas. This goes well beyond those, and is a novel that you may be embarrassed to have in the house if you have younger teenagers (or maybe even older ones).
Is the review positive or negative?
