Search - When a Lady Misbehaves (Pleasure Emporium, Bk 1)

This book was so-so. It seemed the hero and heroine went from just meeting to falling madly in love--all in one fell swoop! I like a little more "friction" between my H&H before they finally "become enamored". However, the hero's public profession of love was quite romantic. Unfortunately, the only real intimate moment came towards the end of the book and was just a bit too verbose for my taste.

This book is very slow going. In fact I put it down & didn't pick it up again till several months later. As others have stated the "love at first sight" was a little over the top especially considering how the hero's character is suppose to be. However there were some exchanges that will give you a chuckle. I did enjoy how quick thinking April is against Agatha's sharp tongue.

Ending had some finer points but others were anti-climatic. Haven't decided yet if going to continue with more in this series or not.

It was a so-so book, the characters were very under developed and didn't have a much substance to them. They seemed very incomplete. The story jumped around abit, didn't have a smooth transition from one subject to the next. It was really a great story idea but this author didn't have the "umph" in the writing to pull it off. Very fustrating, I kept thinking how another author would have made this an excellent story.

This book started out alittle slow. But it ended up being a good book. This is the first book I have read by Michelle Marcos, and I enjoyed her writing.
