Bookfanatic reviewed on
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It wasn't what I expected. The thirty something heroine was strong and not one of those too stupid to live heroines. She was a product of her time, but was able to show real growth in her character. The hero was fascinating. One might think that the lessons are very scandalizing. They are, but not in the way you might think given the blurb in the book. There's a lot of talking about intimate acts, but the actual touching happens in the last quarter of the book. I wouldn't classify this as true erotica although the heroine most definitely has an erotic awakening from the dull, loveless marriage she was enduring for nearly sixteen year. Having read Gabriel's Woman by the same author, I was also pleasantly surprised at how good this story was compared to that one.
