Helpful Score: 1
This story actually surprises me. It's so unlike Bertrice to portray a heroine who remains chaste for one and only one love all the way 'til the end of the story. Despite Bertrice's heroines being independent, bold, and brazen; her heroine in 'The Innocent' comes off quite demure, reserve, yet strong and passionate. That's a far cry from all the other Bertrice novels I've read. However, what I did find interesting in this story is that she was able to separate two characters of good vs. evil. One of virtue vs. the other of notoriety. I'd have to rate this one a fair read.
