Title: Not good enough
Review: This book is a disappointment in many ways. It begins rather well, but the characters are not allowed to evolve, and the plot - which could have been excellent - fails miserably mainly because ms. Laurens time and again has her main characters jumping into bed instead of working out their problems. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy reading those scenes as much as the next person - but in this book they really get in the way. Frankly it feels as if the author tries to put as much erotic action into the story in order to avoid expanding the plot. Jack's personality also irritated me to the point of dislike. Obviously(!) he enjoys going to bed with Kit. But to do it constantly to avoid talking with and listening to his own wife? Sorry - "that don't impress me much!" In addition there is a certain feel of anachronism to the whole thing, which is very dissapointing considering ms. Laurens' other work.
Is the review positive or negative?
