When It Perfect Avon Romantic Treasures Adele Ashworth 9780380818075 Books

I have yet to find a book by Ms. Ashworth that I haven't loved. There is a freshness about her writing that is both unique and rare, imho.

I am not a fan of gothics, however, the romance blew me away. A very sexy read that will leave you guessing until the end.

Don't let the other reviews scare you. If you can find this book, please give it a try. You'll fall in love with Lord Renn as much as Mary did.

When It Perfect Avon Romantic Treasures Adele Ashworth 9780380818075 Books Reviews

Such a simple storyline, written with effortless skill, and the love scenes are drawn with touching finesse. I have read countless romance novels and this author's ability to shape a love scene measure up with the best. The description of her lingering romantic moments is seductive, sensual, and so beautiful. **Sigh**
This book is the sequel to Ashworth's "Someone Irresistible". The setting is Cornwall, England in the year 1855. The story begins with the tragic ending of a much-loved sister. Marcus Longfellow, the Earl of Renn, has come home seeking answers. He implores Miss Mary Marsh, his sister's friend, to aid him.
The beginning of the book is slow paced, and this leisure tempo enables the reader to understand the characters fully. Mary Marsh, 29, is a spinster by choice. She is wellborn, but not of the noble class. Mary makes her way in the world by designing lacy erotic ladies' undergarments. Thus, the path Ashworth draws upon to set up some of the romance.
Marcus Longfellow is gentle, poised, confident, and poetic. The morning following their first warm liaison, the Earl of Renn whispers softly
--- "I learned something last night, Mary. I learned that in all of my thirty-four years, I've never once been given paradise. Oh, I thought I'd had paradise before, several times in fact, but I learned last night that I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Nothing in my experience has been like the paradise you gave me, Mary." **Sigh. Are there men in the world like this?** ---
The stimulating subplot surrounding the sister's death is intriguing. The mysterious secrets circling the family are compelling, and throughout the pages, Ashworth continues to tease the reader with carefully timed connections.
This Adele Ashworth's work is close to perfection; however, I was troubled with one element. It bothered me that Mary embarked on a career designing erotic lingerie. Why? Upon suffering the forceful loss of innocence, would any woman then move forward and design lingerie meant to arouse wild sexual passion in a husband or lover? Nevertheless, this is a good book. A solid read all the way.

maybe i made a mistake by reading this one so soon after reading ashworth's even better book, DUKE OF SIN. maybe i placed too high an expectation on this one for the very same reason. either way, this book ended up being a disappointment.

don't get me wrong, ashworth is still gifted in her poetic description of love scenes. they were very sensual here. however, the story itself was so depressing that as a reader, i just couldn't feel the connection between the hero and heroine. in the back of my mind, i kept thinking "it's just a few weeks since his sister died so why isn't he more grief-stricken?" i think because of how easy it was for marcus to shift from feeling grief for his dead sister to feeling lust for his sister's friend, i had a hard time believing he could experience any depth of emotion. it would have been more believable if he had experienced more emotional conflict about this, but he got over the initial guilt a little too quickly.

another strike against this story is the extremely slow pacing of it in the beginning, and i'm not talking about slow in the sense that i was expecting them to hop in the bed early. i'm talking slow in that the dialogue was boring and the movement of the storyline was boring and there was a lack of any significant sexual tension between mary and marcus. by the time the love scenes arrived, i was already counting the pages until the end.

ultimately, there were two things working against this story being a whole lot better lack of any real character development with either the hero or heroine, no insight into them that would engage the reader into their individual stories, and a mystery plot that was too easy to figure out, so that i was too focused on why it was taking them so long to figure it out. mary allowing the class issue to keep her and marcus apart made no sense to me because she had been behaving outside of class lines for the entire book. i think that was the final straw for me, because her character was rather bland and besides her beauty, i found little reason as to why marcus would fall in love with her.

there were simply too many inconsistencies here for me to recommend this book.
Good book
ASHWORTH IS THE REIGNING MISTRESS OF DEEP ROMANCE. THERE IS NO ONE WHO EXPLORES PROFOUND, COMPLEX PERSONALITIES BETTER. THE SENSITIVITY OF THE MEN IS SUBLIME AND THE WOMEN ARE INTELLIGENT AND MULTI-LAYERED. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
