I didn't finish this book, it got so tiresome. To give credit where credit is due, the first 40% was entertaining and the plot amusing. The subplots were also interesting. Sadly, once Victor discovers Lydia's gender it all just went down hill for me. The same for when Trevor (Lydia's brother) finds his old love, Helena, still unmarried. Victor is in a constant state of horney because he was in a sexless marriage for years. It's all the guy can think about (except when he is feeling noble about not pressing his attentions on someone else). The physcial desires of everyone involved overtakes the romance. The dialogue got melodramatic and the scenes just plain silly and unrealistic. I have no problem with sex scenes in a romance, but I don't want it trumping the story. There was a really good idea here and, for me, it misses the mark.
