Summary: Carlyle is hot!
Comment: Liz Carlyle's talent builds; each novel is better than the last. A WOMAN OF VIRTUE is one of the best romance novels that I've read in the last year, and Carlyle's other novels rank among those best. Unlike many romance writers, Carlyle has a mature writing style as well as well as well-developed characters and plots. All the necessary romance elements - chemical attraction between two well-drawn protagonists, a simple, but fast-moving plot, and a story line connected to previous novels - are here. Her major characters are likeable; her sex scenes are sensual. Hey, I'd give her six stars if I could!
Rating: 5
Summary: A great read!
Comment: I just finished A Woman of Virtue by Liz Carlyle last night. For anyone who was a fan of A Woman Scorned this book does not disappoint. This is the sequel to AWS telling the story of Jonette's brother. I loved David Delacourt because Liz made us feel all of the emotion and anguish and self doubt that he had. It was refreshing that after they slept together they discussed where to go from there (what a concept), no big misunderstanding looming in the background. Did I mention how much I enjoyed the relationship between David and Cecelia? The book is worth reading alone just to meet Kimble the Valet. He's hilarious! The story was very fast and the book just flew by while I was reading it. It has a high sensuality rating (yeah!). Can you tell that I loved this book?
Rating: 3
Summary: Enjoyable, but love scenes are terrible
Comment: The main characters are likeable and though I didn't know the prequel I had no troubles getting into the plot. The story is compelling but not overly original, there are some very trite story elements in it which might annoy some readers (widowed heroine's past for example which was rather romance-stereotypical and felt very contrived).
However I even liked the contrived elements in this story, it was written in a way that I could still enjoy it a lot.
The couple was clearly very much in love with each other and not afraid of showing it which I always find nice.
But amazon's sensuality rating of 8 and the allegedly heated love scenes, oh well, that's another rant altogether! I would have given the book a four stars review if those "love scenes" hadn't been in that book. I'm a sucker for a well-written erotic romance but that one was definitely one of the most unerotic ones I have read for quite a while. Reviewer CBDB's description of David's love-making as that of an electrician under shock is very apt indeed Outch. And there were no variations. That one really rough and almost brutal quickie where the heroine's poor head continually banged against something (just to give one aspect of David's clumsiness and callousness) occurred again and again and grated mightily on my nerves. It was the hero's only technique, obviously and he was very lucky to have such an undemanding, inexperienced partner. David seemed more to be like a pubescent, sex-starved school boy who never had a woman before in his whole life. Tenderness? Preparations? Seduction? What's that? And that man was supposed to be a rake and a skilled, famous lover? Give me a break! He must obviously have spent the six years he was separated from the heroine on a very deserted island....for a truly sensual and sexy romance try Kleypas. You won't be disappointed!
