I am not a "prude" by any sense of the terms. But I felt like I was reading a porno here. The sex came of first importance and the story was second place. If you are looking for a steamy novel this is it. If you are looking for a great romance this is NOT it. There are very explicit sections in this romance.
Susan Johnson places an intriguing mistaken identity story in 1899, with a Balkan setting... Lots of action and adventure and pretty hot!
Learned alot in this one- explicit sex
Another hot one from Susan Johnson.
HATED the "hero" he is a complete jack*ss through the entire book. The female lead spends the entire book going back and forth between being a doormat and having some actual guts. Just barely managed to finish the book because I kept hoping it would improve. It didn't.
While this book is a fairly typical romance, the Russian setting was interesting, and a couple of the love/sex scenes were extremely well done. It was a fun read!

But Prince Alexander Kuzan mistook the alluring redhead for a lady of the evening, the perfect plaything to relieve the boredom of his country journey. Only after her exquisite innocence was revealed did the most notorious rake in St. Petersburg realize that his delicious game of seduction had turned into a conquest of his heart.
