Seduced

This book is so entertaining, with lots of humor. Antonia's experiences while disquised as her twin Anthony are a hoot (what she finds the men of the ton do after the ladies leave them to cigars and brandy after dinner is laugh-out-loud funny.) Ms. Henley excels at her descriptions of all the cities and estates, with Ceylon as my favorite. The erotic parts are very sensuous, well done, and not too prolonged as to be the major emphasis of this story. If you enjoy spicy Edwardian/Regency era romances with good plots, you can't go wrong with this one.

It is ironic that books are composed of words, because words cannot express how godawful this book is. THIS IS IRONY, people. Not fake mustaches; not retro furniture. THIS.

Nothing about it is worthwhile. Even title -- so promising! -- raises expectations that it fails to deliver. NO ONE IS SEDUCED. Not the virginal heroine Antonia and certainly not her disgusting skank of a lover, who beds approximately fourteen other women in the course of the plot before getting around to noticing Antonia. I am sure he has the pox.
Also? Her lover? His surname is Savage. And he sleeps with her mother.

... I could go on (there's a lot to work with here), but why bother?

(I did give one star for the term "manroot", which almost makes up in apt hilarity for show more pages & pages of tender clefts and tiny buds and, ohmygod, love milk.) show less

Passionate in a very non-PC way. Antonia is just seventeen, and Adam Savage is a dozen years older, her guardian, and virtually engaged to her mother. How long will it take him to notice that the lad he knows as Tony is actually a girl trying to protect the family home after her brother's disappearance?

very good book. I did little skim reading and plan on getting more books by the same author
