Review: Disturbing Book
Rating: 2 out of 5

I downloaded this book a few months ago and read it this evening.  Normally, I read what I consider to be typical regency romance novels and the title of this book caught my attention.  During the first half of the book I really enjoyed the characters of Kathryn, Andrew and little Bob. However, there were several things in this book which were very disturbing to me.*Spoilers* It is beyond my comprehension that a man of Andrew's character could continue to socialize with men like Giles and Mr. Brewer after they were so rude to Kathryn and taunted her sexually in Mr. Brewer's home.  Also, most disturbing was the fact that Andrew was so eager to sample the charms of Miss Brewer just a few hours after he had visited Kathryn and nearly begged her to leave her abusive husband and go away with him. Yes, he was foxed, but his delight at her attempted seduction of him ruined the book for me.Although the abuse Kathryn suffered at the hands of her husband and ultimately the loss of her little son Bob who the light of her life was extremely sad, these things do happen in life - I just enjoy lighter fare when I read regency romance novels.
