The pace of this book was excruciatingly S-L-O-W. Over halfway into the book and the heroine Henrietta is still getting prepped for her Season debut by the hero's former mistress. The hero Blake insists Henrietta is off-limits since she is his ward but I found it kind of creepy that while vowing to protect her so he can see her well-married (to someone else) he still allows himself to sample the goods so to speak. His two rakish cousins, Morgan and Race, are to follow in the next two books of the trilogy. I hope their stories are better than this one.
Disappointing read. OK story but lukewarm/boring throughout. I kept expecting at least *something* to explain the 'curse' and didn't even get that. =(

A quick easy read, but not intriguing or interesting. The prose had a staccato-like tempo and didn't flow very easily. At least there was no lovers' angst or betrayals.
