A refreshing romance between an aging courtesan and a much younger--and sexually inexperienced--baron. I liked Garrick for his vulnerability, which stems from his abusive childhood background and secret physical condition. Watching him fall in love was endearing. Lady Ruth was a fine character as well; her sensitivity about aging was something with which I could relate; however, I was a getting annoyed with her constant whining about being too old for him. And for some reason, I kept getting the villains confused, which made it a little frustrating for me. Otherwise, while not exactly the most exciting, it's a decent tale if you enjoy the intricacies of the older woman/younger man relationship. 3.8 stars.
