Loading... The Shadow and the Starby Laura Kinsale
Not really sure why this is some sort of classic. The ninja bits are as ridiculous as they sound. The ninja intrigue at the end vastly overshadowed the romance and bored the shit out of me, leaving me skimming through the final 50 pages or so. It wasn't a bad book, but I could easily put it down to play Bejeweled for a bit without feeling any sort of urgency to get back to it. I never became invested in the romance or the intrigue.

While much less graphic than other romances I've read, and quite sweet and subtle, it was perhaps the most intensely sensual. (  ) carlyrose | Nov 15, 2012 | This was actually a really good book. And I say that because both the title and the cover art make it look STUPID. The title has pretty much nothing to do with the plot. The cover art- well, while I do adore Fabio (and his self-mocking) and am pretty sure he was the model here... it starts off being REALLY clear that the Hero is blond with gray eyes, and the cover art dude is brunette. Also, while I expect they wanted him to look Anguished and Troubled... he mostly looks constipated. Still! While you might want to have a cover wrap when reading this- it IS a really interesting and complex novel, and I liked it very much.
