Review: Strains the limits of ridiculous
Rating: 2 out of 5

I haven't read Julia Templeton before, but my rather recent reading of several of Tracey Cooper-Posey's books led me to understand her successful formula: give the reader a somewhat plausible scenario, (with the word somewhat sometimes pushed to the extreme) two or more strong characters, and lots of hot sex. I generally avoid "Regency" romances, and sadly, this rather unremarkable novel has done nothing to persuade me otherwise. The thoughts/actions of the "heroine," particularly within the first 24 hours of meeting the "hero," strain the limits of "plausibility" way too far. There is very little storyline whatsoever beyond Elisa positioning herself to encounter Vaughn while wearing no under garments beneath her regency outfits. Or is this the whole point of regency romances these days? I guess I'll skip these "historical" novels (!) in favor of more down-to earth (tee hee) vampire novels.
