A review by udle
Breathless by Anne Stuart

2.0

I know the exact moment this went from 3 to 2 stars.
I really liked the heroines and the double narrative was a fun conceit. The development between Miranda and Lucien was well paced, particularly given the revenge fantasy Lucien had to get over.
Unfortunately, although the relationship is set up like a slow burn, it's not executed as such. In the last third of the book, Miranda forgives Lucien for a number of awful things
Spoiler including paying to have her raped
without any of the courage or sense she displays at the beginning. It's like the author got tired of writing and just needed to end the story. Which is really too bad, as I would have liked to see their relationship develop.
