I'm going to sound like a complete snob, but, I can't help but agree that the classes shouldn't mix...in my historical romance reads. I LOVE Loretta Chase and have enjoyed reading some of her previous stories. When I read the blurb for this one, I wasn't sure she would be able to convince me that a Duke could happily marry a Dressmaker and keep his place in society. Well, I guess it comes down to love because love breaks all the rules.
In the end, I enjoyed Silk Is for Seduction. It wasn't my favourite by Loretta Chase but it was still bloody good. I guess the main problem for me is that Clevedon is a bit of a douchewaffle. He's out galivanting in France while his intended (not the heroine) waits patiently back in England as he sows his wild oats. Nice!! I loved that Clara tells him to stick it where the sun don't shine when he finally gets around to proposing to his "more like a sister" intended.
The narrator does a fabulous job and has a beautiful French accent that was very easy to listen to. I've come to realise listening to a foreign language in a storyline poses a wee bit of a problem over reading. I can't hold my finger over the word and look for a translation. The chances of me getting the correct spelling of a word spoken in another language are pretty much nil. It was pleasant to hear but I had no idea what they were saying.
I enjoyed listening to Silks is for Seduction and I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series...and try and tuck away my snobby attitude.
