I am shocked this has such excellent reviews. I am not a fan. First, I often have a problem with the maid who marries the millionaire type books. I usually can't buy into them. I especially didn't like this book because of the overly strong heroine who is commanding, domineering and has little to recommend her. The main characters fell in love at first sight (not believable) and then came the lusty encounters which read like cheap porn and lacked any kind of romance. Then our heroine leaves and becomes a rather slutty courtesan in France which made me further dislike her character. Neither character made me want to get to know them better!The setting is interesting though the entire plot takes place halfway through the book and I kind of wondered if the first half of the book and the second half could have been somehow better portrayed. It was more like, fast forward a year. Just not believable. No rich dialogue or storytelling. Smut, base and vulgar.
