This is the first book Ive read by Jillian Hunter. Though the story is part of her Bocastle series, it reads easily as a stand alone title. Tidbits about the family are scarce and really dont even come into play until later in the book. To be honest, the story was a little busy for me at the beginning and it took me some time to settle into the book. There just seemed to be a lot of characters for me to absorb up front. The story begins with our heroine trying to lure the man of her dreams into3.5 StarThe Countess Confessions centers around the romance of Emily and Damien. Emily is a bit of a trouble maker. She meets Damien when she is pretending to be a fortune teller to get another man. They end up in a compromising situation and are forced to marry Damien is determined to have a real marriage and with great intensity teaches Emily everything about the marriage bed. This book is a romance but there is plenty of adventure and spice. Unfortunately there are a few moments in the book
Good read. The heroine dresses up as a gypsy to try to encourage her crush to think of her in romantic terms by telling his fortune at a party and inserting her own name. But when someone else pushes him out of line and invades the fortune-telling tent, her plans fall apart, especially since this invader is much more intriguing. Things get confusing right off the bat for me. I couldn't figure out either why she wanted the original guy, or why she was so intrigued by the new guy, except that he
A rollicking story where a headstrong young woman poses as a fortune teller to turn the head of a young man she admires. Her plan backfires when a stranger barges into the tent to hide from someone and is instantly smitten by the young lady. He is working undercover as an agent for the Crown of England while she goes against her fathers orders by attending the ball. When her father hears of her hiding in a tower with the stranger, he insists that they marry. This was not in Emilys plans at all,
Blech. The pacing was weird as hell and the plot was non-existent. There is the start of an entertaining story here, but it could have used some serious editing and an actual commitment to character development/any discernible plot. Every time I thought Emily would show some spine and/or do something interesting, the weird pacing would get in the way and all progress would come to a screeching halt. Plus the male lead was flat and oddly controlling. Hunter was trying to make it seem sexy,
THE COUNTESS CONFESSIONS by Jillian Hunter is an exciting Historical Romance 1820 London. A Boscastle Affairs Novel (Book 2), but can be read as a stand alone. See,"The Mistress Memoirs".
