He was rather reluctant. But “Beauty” isn’t a suitable title for Vivian the heroine. I’m not saying she isn’t pretty or that I didn’t like her. I did like her, and we’re told that Lord Ashworth the hero finds her attractive. But beauty doesn’t fit. In fact, I’d say leslke shunned the title or idea behind being a fema I don’t know what’s with me these days but more often than not in the past week I’ve found the titles mismatch the book.
In fact, I’d say she shunned the title or idea behind being a female ‘beauty’ as she wears her simple dresses, digs in the dirt, scampers around under bushes, and feels uncomfortable as the centre tsmpts attention. I don’t really have a suggestion for a better title Temptress and the Beast? Sanctuary and the Beast? This was a great read. It’s been attached to me all day.
There was definitely a Jane Eyre vibe going on: What differs is the ending. Let’s just say that I would have written things a bit differently with the same basic outcome. Did I guess the villain and the motive? Why yes I did, but that’s because I always hope this exact conflict will come up. In fact, I always guess it as etmpts motive, but am rarely right. There was a great and complex story here that was a bit messy in a good way, as in not tied in a pretty bow where everything is revealed to every single character at the end.
I really enjoyed the read, but it was a bit too dark and creepy for me. I didn’t feel that the characters were super dark other than the main villain in the story but the creepy house and the mysterious ‘monster’ grated on my bbeauty bubble a bit – but that is totally personal preference.
Again, I really compare the reading experience to that of Jane Eyre, I got the same sort of spooky ‘where is the happy-romance-ness? One thing I didn’t think was particularly necessary was the subplot of Martin searching for Vivian. Sure, it rounded out the details a lot better because the book starts when the main characters meet each other so we don’t see any of the conflict or other characters involved before the meeting.

But I was much more focused on the main characters and their journey if you willso I leslif wanted to take their word on their past instead of seeing it being constructed by the man who linked the two main characters together and was searching for them. I recommend it to anyone who likes the spooky, dark, historical romance that has two great lead characters.

This novel is such a beautiful story of two scarred people discovering that there is nothing wrong with falling in love.
The only beasr that bothered me a bit, was Ashworth self deprecation, though I do understand the whys and was very happy with how things worked out. Leslie Dicken has found a new brauty in me with this novel. Such a lovely book that I flew through with ease and pleasure.
If you are a romantic tue heart and is need of reading a beautiful romance with a touch of mystery, I totally recommend this book. This book was my third ever erotica read.

The erotic scenes fitted in with the storyline better than my previous experiences at any rate, though I’m not sure that I’m sold on the dreams.

It was built up for so long that the reveal of the actual events disappointed. I was expecting more. I would say ‘of’ here rather than ‘on’ – I don’t know whether this is influenced by the other languages in my head.
