Although there were elements of the book I enjoyed, the story seemed to go on and on and on without enough progress in Noah's and Thea's relationship to suit me.Big Issues: Noah Winters needed a wife. When the young deb he had chosen cried off, he decided her companion, Thea Collins, would do just as well. Thea's in a really tight spot since she and her younger sister are dependent upon a young brother for their livelihood. Their brother is a wastrel who is drinking and gambling away his funds as soon as he receives them from his Solicitors. So, of course Thea needs to somehow find a way to establish her younger sister so she will have more choices than Thea had.Thea agrees to marry Noah planning to tell him she is no longer a virgin, but somehow doesn't find the right time until Noah attempts to consummate the marriage. It's a disaster in the making. When Noah realizes Thea's not "virtuous" (how I hate the use of that word as it was applied in those days), he doesn't trust her word for when she gave up her virtue and decides nothing further will occur between them until she has her monthly so he can be certain any future children are his. Okay, I get that, but for a man who had slept around as much as he had, I thought the way he acted was a bit over the top. Big whiny baby! Especially when he had two little secrets of his own that he never bothered to offer up. In fact, the two little secrets were not actually his, but he allowed Thea to believe he had two illegitimate daughters in his home - the actual truth of whose children they were which doesn't come out until near the end of the book.Further, during Noah's mixed up, confused feelings about how to go on with Thea, he actually visits his former mistress to get advice from her regarding his marriage. To give the woman credit, she was quite honorable for a courtesan and I had to admire the way she dealt with Noah. But, overall, this book simply had too many issues which resulted in my overall dislike. In truth, this book didn't quite seem to be a Burrowes' book. Normally, I find her male characters to be top rated, sensitive gentlemen who cherish the women within their sphere. Noah definitely needed a sensitivity chip. Two and one-half stars... ### ⭐⭐⭐ Typical Grace Burrowes book *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019* I haven’t picked up one of her books for several years, not because she isn’t a talented author, because she is. So why do I shun her books? Her writing is annoyingly predictable to me. He might say“ Pass the Jam, please, don’t be keeping it all to yourself” as they carry on conversation, in which she might say something similar as he butters his biscuit furiously. Or, more tea, cream? Orange muffins? Aren’t you going to share?Every single time I pick up one of her books the in between sentences are about the couple sharing food, or the mistress or anyone at all. It was quaint in my first book read of hers. The 2nd book I thought, really? The 3rd book it was driving me crazy. I let a few years go by and I thought to give another chance. Please don’t have the couple discussing food, I prayed. Well, it literally is the MO of this author and my prayers weren’t answered, at least for this reader. It reminds me of being annoyed by someone chewing too loud and you think, “ please stop!” I know my review sounds most unkind, but how can every book mirror the last one? Even the H and HR seem similar. There is a predominant pattern of her characters being just too darn ho hum and boring. I’ve been reading HR books for 45 years and rarely give out harsh reviews. This is my exception. A little more creativity and imagination would go a long way to pacify me in regards to Ms Burrowe’s books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grace Burrowes deserves to be at the top of your reading list! *by D***1 on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016* I have read nearly all of Grace Burrowes's historical romance novels. I have yet to read (but plan to) her contemporary novels. I picked this book to review simply because it was there. I would like to convey to potential GB readers what a delight she is to read. There are some particular elements you will find in nearly all her books which added to my enjoyment. These are: 1) There is no hero you will NOT like. Her heroes are kind, gentle, respectful of women, not judgmental where the lack of virginity is concerned, and they all have an uncanny understanding of the heroine. 2) Burrowes likes to use food as a connection between hero and heroine. 3) You will usually encounter flowers--picking one at random to put in a lady's hair or a gentleman's lapel, gardens galore whether the planting of or walking through, etc. 4) There are sex scenes of course, but none of them are gratuitous. 5) Aggression on the part of the heroine as pertains to love scenes. You will not regret reading a GB novel or novella. I have found in other books the need to scan quickly a lot of pages! You will not do that in GB book. Her plots are genuine, believable, and move along with some surprises along the way. Her books are sophisticated and not insulting to the reader's intelligence, and her grammar is impeccable. (Sadly, I have found horrendous breaches of grammar among other authors I have read.) If you enjoy historical romance, Grace Burrowes should be at the top of your list along with Julie Garwood.
