Summary:
Gregor wants vengeance against an old rival. He happens across Jessie as she gets arrested for using witchcraft to win a fight with another prostitute. Before she is killed, Gregor helps her escape so that she will spy for him. As she is spying, the two fall in love more or less.
My thoughts:
Honestly, I didn't read this book for the plot line. It is a historical romance, but I wasn't expecting it to be very accurate or the plot to be terribly gripping. For instance, why does Jessie need help escaping from prison when she can clearly use her magic to influence people and open locked doors? Also, why does Gregor need a spy? He doesn't actually need the information that Jessie gives him. He could figure out things on his own. I guess having an inside woman just makes things a little easier? In spite of these flaws, I enjoyed the romance between Gregor and Jessie. The sex is very explicit and was exactly why I reached for this book. I rarely read erotic literature. I have to be in the right mood (or not have a headache?). This fit the bill for what I was looking for. Let's be honest, you pick up a book about a harlot for sex. The rest is just filler to make it feel better than porn.
