Definitely better developed than most erotica, but much less engaging and erotic than a really well written historical romance. The chair scene in Untie My Heart? The alley in The Proposition? Just about all of The Raven Prince? Double the character development, and double the sensual impact. I trudged through EVERYTHING FORBIDDEN - it's not that good, but no wallbanger either. It's an erotic romance, so it should come as no surprise that the book is really just a series of sex scenes tied together with a thin plot and a mildly convincing 19th century setting. The biggest problem for me is how one-dimensional the characters are. Miranda and Ethan are sensual people, and they like having sex with one another. That's great, but it's not enough to create the cocktail of intense, conflicting emotions that makes an erotic romance really sizzle. We see Miranda outside the bedroom once and a while, and that really helps - she shoulders the responsibility of caring for her family, she's conflicted about keeping her activities secret from her closest sister, she worries about the consequences her fall from grace will have in the future. So when she visits Ethan, there's some substance to her fears and desires. But Ethan doesn't seem to have any interests outside the bedroom, no hobbies or work of any kind, and his rare social encounters reinforce the idea that Ethan Hamon, Earl of Rothschild, is interested in one thing, and one thing only: sex. He likes to be in control, and Miranda threatens his composure, but that's about it where character development is concerned. This is fine until until the author asks us to believe that Miranda is falling in love with Ethan, and that Ethan is falling in love with Miranda. How do you fall in love with Ethan? He's just a willing body, a glorified blow-up doll. And what does this love consist of? Their relationship is exclusively sexual. It felt false to me, and not very hot either. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
For summers Miranda Albright has watched--aghast, yet shamefully titillated--as her wicked neighbor Ethan Hamon, the notorious Earl of Rothschild, "entertained" a succession of lovers on the grounds of his estate. Now that her father has passed on, leaving behind a mountain of debt, Miranda must do the unthinkable. For Ethan has promised to sponsor her younger sisters, financially and socially, at a scandalously dear price: Miranda must offer herself to him completely for three full months, with no remorse and no restraints. Ninety days and nights of unbridled sensuality await her in the arms of a rogue who views her submission as no more than a grand erotic game. But neither Miranda nor Ethan realize that fire blazes behind her innocent blush. And once her passion is unleashed by his lips and his touch, it is the student who will school the teacher in the ways of forbidden pleasure . . . and love.
