The third and final book in this trilogy of sisters who were kidnapped as babies from their courtesan mother is such a disappointment. And this is coming from an author who has years of experience writing enjoyable historical romances. When you have constant eye rolling by the third chapter and throughout the book you know this was written on auto pilot.
The premise looks to be interesting as mother "Madame Aphrodite" pays our hero Sebastian to try and find the evil ones responsible for stealing...more

This one was heading towards a two star rating, but the final third of the book earned it the extra star.
This was a pretty formulaic historical romance, which I actually don't mind at all if the story engages me. This one didn't very much until that final third of the book. Not really any one thing I can put my finger on, I liked the two leads well enough as well as some of secondary characters. I don't know. I just never really felt all that invested in any of them.

Meh. All the pieces were here, but it was just missing that... something. I found myself skimming long sections of the book.
It was ok. Good romance but a pretty quick read with a fairly lame story line.
Rated 3.5
The story reads like a rewriting of the "Who Shot JR?" season into a steamy, Victorian, "Who's Franchesca's Father?" whodunit that I actually quite enjoyed. Things came together a little too nicely in the end, though.
