Helpful Score: 2

Meh. Contrary to some other reviews, I thought the first story, set in Regency England, was the better of the two. Perhaps it is because I have read all the Samantha Jellicoe books and this was a not particularly interesting installment in her series. There wasn't enough new development in either Sam or Rick to make the story worthwhile and the story itself was thin and lackluster.

I've made this comment before, but I feel i must add it here as well. Suzanne Enoch writes terrible love scenes in her historical romances. Much as I like her romance development overall, she writes love scenes with virgins who never feel pain, always have orgasms, and know exactly what to do without any prior knowledge, explanation, or embarrassment. It is so cringe-worthy and eye-rolling it really takes away from what would otherwise have been a good story.
