GENRE: Romance

FIRST SENTENCE: There was always a sense of pleasurable anticipation attached to entering London even though one had to travel through the poorer, more crowded outer areas before reaching Mayfair and its splendid mansions and thoroughfares.

SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Sophie Armitage has never felt attractive to men. Even her late husband treated her more as a companion than a lover. But suddenly a longtime friendship turns into an irresistibly passionate affair...

THOUGHTS: Umm, Sophie, why couldn't you just tell your lover what the problem was from the start? Oh, because then there would have been no book.

Worst. Plot device. Ever.

At least the characters were decent with believable chemistry. Also, Ms. Balogh, why couldn't you give your secondary characters their own book. Their story was more interesting than the main plot.

Not Balogh's best, but far from bad.

RATING: 5/10 [Meh.]
