Review: Interesting character growth

The most stunning aspect of this story is not the budding love between Eleanor and James, but rather James's transformation - growth, really, from that of a young man content with his job as a gigolo, to an independent man seeking revenge for his kidnapping and to protect the woman he loves, instead of just being the one to soothe her wounds. He gets a dark transformation, and it happens gradually and believably, though still packs quite a punch in some aspect of sudden changes of his personality and behavior. However, it is precisely due to his transformation that he was able to keep and protect Eleanor, become her knight in shining armor, and emerge victoriously as a Romantic hero.
