Reviews

I really dig the Windham family and all their scheming ways. I'm a sucker for well-portrayed families, and while Grace Burrowes may not write with the same lighthearted fun-ness that Julia Quinn does, the Windham family is lovable in its own way.

Another aspect I adore of this series is how well the hero and heroine fit together. Each offers something the other needs, whether they realize it or not. Jenny needs someone to recognize her talents and encourage her, and Elijah needs to be pushed back into the bosom of his family.

Elijah is gentle and loving, and a refreshing break from a lot of the typical rakish historical romance heroes. Jenny is much like the rest of her family, strong and stubborn, and like the previous Windham daughters, quite convinced that marriage and children are not for her. A bit repetitive, that, but I only realized it as I was writing this review, so not so much as to be annoying or overly noticeable.

I enjoyed the sexy shenanigans between Jenny and Elijah and nothing's better than starting off the book knowing the heroine has seen the heroine naked already, though not in any sexual context.
