It was ok.

I'll admit that I had very mixed feelings on this one. I started reading it and enjoyed it and then my level of enjoyment decreased. The back and forth and hemming and hawwing and the whole sex only thing. It felt a little too close to Fifty Shades for me at times.

I almost DNF'd but I really wanted to finish it and see how the ends were left open for the next book. I read this one knowing that it was part of a trilogy so that wasn't a big deal to me.

[Cocktails and Books]

I adored this book. First, Dylan, the hero is British. That alone is enough to get me to pick the book up. Second, he's a Marquess. I do love the aristocracy no matter what era. Third, he's absolutely filthy. Poor inexperienced, naive Lydia didn't know what hit her when she met Dylan.

My only "complaint" about the book is the amount of time we spend in Lydia's head. The POV is her's, so you'd expect to be in her head. But we spent a lot of time there when she was in a "moment" with Dylan. I would have rathered more interaction between the characters than Lydia's inner monologue. But that is a very small detraction to an otherwise fabulous, fabulous read. I can't wait to find out what happens next with this couple when the second book, Royal Disaster, comes out in April.
