This novel started with rollicking humor and unexpected turns. The hero is an inventor and the heroine is ahead of her time -- an animal activist. I thought this was going to be a great book but something happened along the way.
The author kept reminding the reader that the Duke of Blackheath was very manipulative. Then the issue of the aphrodisiac went from an item in the plot to just silliness. Later Marie Antoinette became a character in the story and it made little sense. The novel devolved from a fun romp to a story filled with stupid incidents. On the bright side, the author did a wonderful job of creating characters that grew to love each other over time.
