Review: An odd but very likable book
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book certainly doesn`t follow the HR pattern. First off, the hero and the heroine don`t meet each other because they are forced to marry or because he is a rake and she wants to save him from himself. No, these two characters meet each other because the heroine has contemplated revenge on the hero`s brother for years and now she suddenly has the chance - she thinks. It turns out she has the wrong brother and the revenge is a tattoo close to his private parts.Secondly, the book is not written in the way that has become so typical of HRs. The hero and the heroine don`t spend pages pining for each other (though they do want each other pretty early on) and the language the author has chosen to use has more in common with the old HRs than the more contemporary authors. This gives this book a historically correct feeling even if the actions are fairly "modern". The heroine is a working woman and she does not faint or stutter. And the hero loves her for it.It`s a great love story and it`s something different. I can recommend this book if you want to read something that doesn`t follow the "pattern" and if you want a very credible romance with a lovable heroine and a hot hero.Edit: In the new edition of this book the minor mistakes have been corrected and so I`ve deleted that comment from my review. The book has also become an even better read as the author has added some details the first version didn`t have. It`s now an even better read!
