A Lady's Maid

Could Recommend

I don't know what it was but it took me quite a while to get through this book.  It wasn't that it was uninteresting but it was just a slower read for me.  Possibly could have just been my life at the time...I don't know.  

Anyway, a lot of political topics as her books tend to have.  There were two romanic relationships it focused on about equally which was interesting since most books only have one.  There was just a bit more passion {TMP} than I was comfortable with.  There were also many {Uncomfortable Moments} which also goes along with the {Subject Matter} in most cases.  A "bad part of town" is described where terrible things happen.  She doesn't go into graphic detail but you know it's an awful place and you can deduce what happens there.

I could recommend this book but it probably wouldn't be my first pick to tell someone about.

{TMP}?

Easily Recommend

This was a sweet collection of holiday stories.  There were just a couple of times that I was the slightest bit uncomfortable with a kissing scene but overall, it was very clean and enjoyable.

Not Recommend

For me, this book definitely had {TMP}.

It is one that I would not recommend because of it...a lot of suggestive comments and such.  I almost didn't finish it but I was curious as to how she would wrap things up.  I liked the twist of having the pimpernel be a woman and I also liked her writing style but that one undesirable element was too strong for me.

I know this is her second novel and would be interested in trying the first...A Nobleman's Daughter...to see if it's any better in that department.
