Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews
4.0
I want to write a very full review for this... but then again I don't.
I think to enjoy this book you can't go in with too much detail, but instead just have to ride the roller-coaster of it. Given the blurb (and also the first chapter), I think experienced romance readers will quickly intuit some things. It gives a little nod to the Count of Monte Cristo. But the enjoyment is how the plot gets from point A to point .
This is a very romantic story with a strong, enjoyable heroine and a dashing, very enigmatic hero. It also has plotting rogues and scheming relatives, a parent trying to control a child from beyond the grave and another parent who goes to the grave with a lot of secrets to be uncovered. And through it all you wonder about identity -- mistaken or fraud or real? And it keeps you guessing until the end with an appropriately dramatic climactic scene.
I started this yesterday and did not put it down til I finished. It was a great read with just enough angst (not too much) and adventure (more than enough) and romance (a lot). Also I really appreciate that both the hero and heroine have their own separate high stakes plots that intersect in some ways but are still have separate but equal importance to that character.
Good book.
