This book picked up in the last half of the book; the first part was steamy but I thought Lady Flora Bonham was too far before her time. I thought she was a slut -- having sex with a man she'd just met in 1867! It just didn't fly. She also didn't let Adam Serre expect a monogamous relationship. I just couldn't accept the idea that a father (Flora's archaeologist parent) could be so indifferent to Flora's promiscuous behavior.

Adam Serre is the overachieving half-breed that I really don't like. He can play Chopin, luxuriate on the Continent, shoot, ride, lead his clan, and everything else.

Flora changed over the course of the book. Actually, when they started doing something other than having sex constantly, the story became interesting. 3.5 stars
