Search - Lessons From a Courtesan

Really disappointed with this book. The "hero" (I use the term loosely) was a cad. I am still confused as to why we were supposed to root for him. He married (against his will), deflowered his wife, and then left her. Now years later, he's back in London after a life of debauchery on the Continent to find his wife is a courtesan. What really gets me is his possessiveness of her. It seems stupid and out of place. Then he forces his way into her life because she is HIS wife....anyway I hated this book.

It is rare that I don't like a romance novel, but this one ended up really disappointing me. The male hero is so terribly unlikeable that it was hard for me to wish for a happy ending.

Great book read, could not put it down!

A good afternoon read.

I enjoy most of Ms Petersen's books. This one I found good but I felt that the ending was a little rushed and left some ends dangling. Then I got her latest and it wrapped up the dangling ends. of this one and I feel better about Lessons. In fact I went back and reread it.

i really enjoyed this book, the characters were believable and the plot was interesting. i liked that the heroine had no interest in her husband for most of the book and attempted to avoid him while she worked to find a missing girlfriend. the lack of "need" for a man in her day to day life was refreshing and this was a fun take on the wife/mistress roles
