Julie Anne Long likes to take her time getting the story going. The Perils of Pleasure, like most of her other books, takes roughly half of the book to move the characters from acquaintances to love interest. I had to quit reading her books because this style doesn't work for me and it's frustrating and boring to read a romance novel with no romance for a good 150-200 pages. That said, JAL does know how to wore some hot love scenes.

In this story, the ending came upon is rather abruptly. Yeah they'd had sex, but since there was no possiblity of love or romance, when things finally fell together, is was kind of weird and rushed.
