Evening Star

This is by far my most favorite book I've read to date. I've re-read it many times over the years and each time I find myself loving it more and more! Everything about this book is amazing!! The storyline is so different from other novels. Alex (the hero in the story) has just the right amount of conceit/experience to make your toes tingle, and Giana was equally perfect--- a strong, beautiful heroine! Many of the memorable scenes took place in a brothel... not the typical "london season of the ton" I'd say! Great book all around!!!

I needed to kill a few hours waiting for my train, so I bought this. It was well worth the (money). I have read a lot of her romance novels, mostly her modern ones- this was my first of her historical romance novels. I thought what her mother did was harsh to force her daughter to "special education" in order to make her see what it means to be married. I don't really blame her uncle (mother's friend), he was just trying to save her from the fortune hunter. I really like how independent and intelligent her character was. She was a business women and didn't care what others thought of her using her brains.

The book is not "a typical historical romance novel". The book starts with a stary eyed, naive heroine and as she learns about people (that is the best part of the book) in a brothel, the plot and characters gain substance. I recommend it to readers who expect more that the innocent girl meets the dashing hero type of romance.

Great read! I enjoyed this book so much. If historical romance is your favorite genre please don't miss this one.
