Jane’s review here. Clearly, I liked this a bit better than Jane did, though I agreed with her criticisms, by and large. The hero’s obsessive “love” for the heroine when he doesn’t even know her is borderline-creepy. What I liked was the homage to Judith Ivory’s Beast, and the honest and thorough depiction of what it means to be as beautiful as the heroine, Venetia, is. Beautiful heroines are a dime a dozen but I really like books that examine what it might mean for a woman to stand out in that way in society..
