SPOILER ALERTNormally a huge Kleypas fan but this one wasn't great. I was disappointed, though not at all suprised, that the lady in question turned out not to be a prostitute.I think the book and the characters could have had a lot more depth if she had gone the other way. We could have discovered the reason she had become a prostitute and gone through his struggle to come to terms with her past. It would have at least been more interesting than the typical shy virgin being seduced by the worldly and virile rake. Why can't the girls ever be bad?
