This was a beautifully done romance. At times it moves very slowly, but there is a reason. The author, through the words of the writer of the diary, is building the story. She's made your imagination fall back in time and feel what it was like in the 1800's. The grand manors, the carriage houses, the whore house, the dirt & nastiness of the streets.
The main character, Cozette, learns what it is like to be a woman. Not so much, "the hard way", but more, it's time to do this... what will the world show me through pleasure?
The men, well, of that time, they thought it was their due for pleasure. From the whorehouse to the manor you meet all types and they live up to your imagination.

I definitely prefer McIntyre's historical settings and elegant writing style in this genre. This wasn't really a prequel to The Master and the Muses, but does contain a common character. Very good.

Christy bought this book in Kadena on Monday, read it, and told me I should read it. It's an "erotic novel" that has less sex in it than the typical JD Robb book, and for once, JD Robb/Nora Roberts actually beat this author's writing of them. An unbelievably quick read, and rather boring, and I feel dumber for having wasted an hour and a half reading the 423 pages. I shoulda just reread Salvation in Death, which was a great addition to the JD Robb series.
