content: Based on the reviews I read here, I had expected something very different. But I found Nick, the hero, to be rather irritating, and the heroine, Aurora, was brainless. Whenever Aurora tried to explain that she was terrified of something, Nick would just start kissing her and throw up her skirts. And like a brainless idiot, she would melt in helpless passion then later agree with Nick that she was somehow to blame. I wanted to slap her.The secondary characters popped in and out without having much depth. Several promising story lines were never followed - the violently angry father, the hoyden half sister, the jilted fiancee, the famous rake - they never had much of a part in making an interesting subplot. It seemed to me, the plot consisted of having Nick think of ways to shut Aurora up by taking her to bed.
