You can tell that the above was one of my first reviews on Amazon:) I love this author and frequently check to see if she's written something new but sadly not yet. I enjoyed this book again and I'm glad I took the time. The h is a gorgeous young debutante and she's curiously abducted one night during the season. More curious is that London's biggest rake, the H, is also missing. Lord Ben an earl, is called in by the h's father to investigate. I guess Ben is also an H but seeing as he is a recurring character, we'll call him by his name. Ben's wife, Alicia, is a delightful secondary character, who issues Ben with an ultimatum after just 6 months of marriage. He either takes the time to get to know her properly or he's banned from her bed. Both stories run concurrently and both are lovely. The abducted H and h get to know each other pretty well during their incarceration. I can't say enough about how I love Ms Wilde's writing. Her characters are a joy. I wish she'd write something new.
The one issue I had with this story is that it doesn't seem to know which set of characters to focus on, so both stories end up incomplete.
The explanation for Elena and Ran's abduction is vague at best, and in all honesty, truly unrealistic. The story of Alicia and Ben was more interesting, but it seemed as soon as things got interesting between them, Elena and Ran's storyline would continue. Too bad the reasons both couples did what they did in most cases was so bland. Even the arguments between Alicia and Ben seemed fairly bland. Elena and Ran didn't make much of an effort to free themselves although they had plenty of time to think of options. The moment with potential excitement was when Alicia went to meet the blackmailer, but the actual encounter was skipped over.
I can also honestly say that as a long time fan I'm very fond of her hot steamy romances and this one didn't even have that to save it from mediocrity.
The side story of Ben and Alicia was a bit more interesting and the only reason I was able to complete the book. But I still found flaws with their story as well. If a husband has been bedding his wife for months and never bothered ensuring she had any pleasure- why would he 'wake up' all of a sudden and start caring about her orgasm? And why would a man who knows women can enjoy sex not ever try to bring his wife pleasure before? All in all, it made Ben look like a self-centered idiot.
Disappointing read.
The characters were well defined and the women were smart - that is so good, vapid heroines are a drag. The storyline did drag in a few places but it was overall a great and engaging read.
I can't say a lot about the plot because it would spoil it for everyone, just know that it's very well structured. Enjoy!
Emma does a great job of making you fall in love with characters who's stories have already started as she takes you on the journey through their lives.
