I've never read any other book, and I read 1-2 daily, that utilized this kind of paranormal scheme that the "League" represents. I found it very interesting and refreshing how each characters' ability was woven into the story, but this story jumped around frequently leaving the reader wondering where you were...did you skip a page? No, that's the way it's written. The paranormal parts are so brilliantly interwoven, but the rest of the story is vague and blurry. There are many unexplained areas that leave the reader hanging, and raise questions that never get resolved.
There's an overabundance of sex for a story set in this era, and right from the beginning you can count of having a detailed description of what the H's 'manhood' is doing in any scene, just as if it were a live character with a speaking role. For much of the beginning the only characters were the H and his manhood. I was tempted to drop the story but did keep reading.
The author misses the point on many historical aspects of the time period. I'm a stickler for historical accuracy so these errors scream at me. The H and h are both age 25, but a woman would have been contracted into marriage many, many years before this, especially if her father was in financial straits. We're told the Baron holds something over her father, but we're never told what it is. A woman of 25 was considered 'on the shelf', or long past her expiration date. The h likes to get up in the middle of the night and bake, so she's in the kitchen, with her hair in a chignon. Nope, a lady has her hair taken down at night and braided before bed. The historical accuracy of this story faded in and out enough to make the read disruptive. There are also many proofreading/typographical errors that need correcting.
I didn't realize this was book 2 in the series until I finished it, but I didn't feel any disconnect due to not having read book 1 first. It is in my vast Kindle library, so I may try to get into it. This was a HEA stand-alone story that took me much longer to read than other books, precisely because it jumped around so much it was disorienting and I'd put the book down. Most days I can't stop reading.
