Emma Holly is known for writing erotic fiction. Beyond Innocence is not as graphic or steamy as her contemporary erotic fiction but is still a good read. As a reader of historical romance, this book is reasonably well written. However if your aim is more for historical romance, this story emphasizes the relationship and the chemistry between the H/H more than the time period. Some of the other reviews say it is terrible, I think if you read Loretta Chase or Lisa Kleypas regularly, this book will not be to that standard. But having read a lot of historical fiction, this is fun because it is more focused on the sexual interaction of the main characters and the relationship between two brothers. Some things seemed a bit unbelievable in the time period (e.g. easy acceptance of a gay character) but I read Emma Holly for the hot romance, not historical accuracy.
