Quill is a lovable, tortured, injured heroine, and Gabby is fun and rather clueless. Peter, in his own way, is an equally interesting character. As usual, however, a secondary plot tends to get in the way and the times when you most want to find out about Quill and Gabby - I really wish she would just stick to one story per book! I think the end of this book goes a little bit far in the melodrama direction as well, but it's still a fun book and I enjoyed it. ( )0.018 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440234581, Mass Market Paperback)People magazine named Eloisa James' novel Midnight Pleasures “Page Turner of the Week” and raved “Romance writing does not get much better than this.” Now the acclaimed author returns with another sumptuous tale of passion and misadventure in Regency England....Gabrielle Jerningham cherishes the portrait of her betrothed, the perfect Peter Dewland...until she meets his commanding older brother Quill. But it is Peter to whom she has been promised. And how can she possibly transform her voluptuous, outspoken self into the poised gentlewoman Peter requires? When Gabby’s shocking décolletage plunges to her waist at her first ball, Peter is humiliated. But Quill comes to the rescue, to the peril of his heart. An accident years before has left Quill plagued by headaches--the kind that grows more excruciating with strenuous exercise. Needless to say, this hardly bodes well for siring progeny. But the very sight of Gabby leaves Quill breathless. One forbidden kiss and Quill vows to have her, headaches--and Peter--be damned! But it will take a clever man--and a cleverer woman--to turn the tables on propriety and find their way to true love....
