Review: A little less bonking, a little more action - 2.5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5

The set-up for this story was interesting - a man called Simon is imprisoned in a mental asylum and meets Gabrielle Howell, a woman determined to save him.The plot was quite absurd but I was enjoying the book until the sex scenes started.  Now I appreciate a well-written love scene as much as the next reader but the author really went over the top with the sex in this one.  The scenes aren't badly written, they're just so frequent that I found myself wishing the characters would stop bonking each other and get on with the story.  After a while it was just seizure, bonk, repeat.Things got a bit muddled once the Rakehells made an appearance.  There were so many of them (as well as their wives!)that I started skipping over those sections.  Fans of the series, I'm sure, would find these bits interesting but it was very confusing for a new reader like me.Frequent typos throughout the book were also annoying.  This one gets two and a half stars from me.
