This one is uneven; it gets really good only in the late third or so of the book.
If you are looking for shallow, superficial fun, well – jump right in!
Oops, when the author has a bad day, it can be a pretty dire one.
This one is funny, which is a good thing as it doesn’t have much else going for it.
A boring Scot, haw haw haw.
Oh, a romance story with a well-portrayed courtesan!
This one is alright, but like most of the author’s books so far, an uneven read through and through.
Yet another tale of a self-loathing heroine with no impulse control. Yawn.
What happened to the author’s ability to plot?
