Presumably erotica that reads more like a standard historical romance with lots of steamy sex and explicit language. I had some trouble with it initially; it was slow getting started and I didn't much like the hero. And the heroine isn't particularly easy to identify with either. However, there is a very decent little romance lurking in there, and the hero, once he returns from his four year journey to find himself, emerges as a much stronger more admirable character. Still not perfect, but better than many I've seen in erotic romance. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It has its share of silly moments and contrived situations, and at times it seems that the H&H's entire relationship is based on nothing but sex, but I think fans of erotic romance will find it quite enjoyable. Not a keeper for me, but for all its weaknesses, still a pretty good read.
