This will be a quick one.Honestly I wasn't a fan, I only made it to chapter 6. It had all the promise of being a good read- a damsel in distress, a dashing hero but for some reason it lacked a certain spark for me. I didn't feel connected to the characters and the back ground stories to the characters felt a little rushed. The connection between Ren and Lia just seemed to happen, there was no build up of attraction between them. Setting: Morocco, Italy, England Dec 1818 - Jan 1820Genre: Romance/eroticaLia gets sold into slavery by the men her aunt had hired to kill her. Ren buys her in a slave auction in Morocco. They have sex. A lot. Ren agrees to assist her in saving her brother from their evil aunt, so they sail to Italy to do so. They have sex on the ship. They have sex in Italy too. Ren decides to marry her and elevate her to the rank of Duchess. She says no and decides to escape because she is too stupid to live. For some reason, Ren wants to catch her - probably because, really, she is a runaway slave. But England abolished slavery in 1807, but still, he had a lot of money invested in her. Marriage is legal slavery, so I guess that was his only option for keeping her. They sail to England and have sex on the ship. What follows is the whole trust/mistrust plot device and sex. Lots of sex. Love develops and there is more sex. Then there is a death, resurrection, kidnapping, and rescue. But alas, no more sex, not even in the epilogue.Okay, that's the book, so now you don't have to read it. But maybe you'll want to, because I skipped some. It was getting irritating. And how much sex can 2 people have in one book, while still following a loose plot line?
What do You think about Caversham's Bride (2012)?
The story starts out with promise, then becomes too slow and dull.
