I took a chance on this book, as I had never read or even heard of the author before. I was pleasantly surprised, the story was engaging enough to keep me turning the pages till late at night. The depiction of the seamy side of prostitution was more realistic than most romances touching on this topic. I agree with Regina that the issue of the heroine "faking it" a lot in the beginning because she was desperate for the duke to keep her as his mistress, was never really resolved, and took something away from those love scenes, of which there are many. In fact, if you took out the love scenes the book would probably be half as long. But they are well done, and aside from that it's a good story of two damaged people who heal each other. The hero's extreme persistence in wanting to marry her despite her past was quite touching.
