Personally I've pretty much loved. It's not the best book I've read but it is readable easily. I enjoyed the relationship of the main couple who started for half the book with a game of cat and mouse and later their relationship is sometimes tender and sometimes passionate still quite daring for the time. I have also loved the secondary characters and friendship and fraternity between the brothers and sister. I will also continue with the story of the brothers and sister of Viscount ("loving partition" which is No. 2 and that tells the story of his brother Sébastien then hopefully Milady going to translate suites stories of brothers and sister) For me its only flaws are that it is long enough to start and I admit that the secret of heroin is botched because for my part I understood her "secret" in the first pages of the novel (it should have been more suspense about his past). There may also be times when inflated heroin me his obsession with math and I admit not being a good in mathematics I did not understand everything, but hey it's a bit basic its history math genius so ... But if I had to summarize a good time with this book that includes still some humor (with exchanges and pikes of the main couple), a beautiful romance, sensuality advanced with 2-3 hot scenes spice history. After by cons must love the classic romances to tackle this series.
