I really enjoyed this one but Pleasure Me was my favorite so far. Older heroine who is a courtesan and a younger man who has a deformity he's hiding and dealing with. Was a great read that really got me hooked :) Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-76301224560785052742013-03-05T13:27:15.823-05:002013-03-05T13:27:15.823-05:00I don't know that I'd like it in real life...I don't know that I'd like it in real life for me personally. I don't know why though. LOL I still haven't tried Lisa Kleypas but I'm guessing me and the heroine would definitely get along in that regard. ;)<br /><br />I'm usually okay with a 9-12 year age difference. Just depends on the author I guess and the actual characters. It's worked for me with Monica's so far. Which have you read? I've still got a couple to read through once I get my hands on them.

I get ya on the age difference sometimes. One of the things about them that kinda squicks me out is the much older men with very, very young women. Not talking about the hero/heroine usually since they tend not to be the extremes but the background of old men shopping for 16-18 year old wives. Bleck! Same would go with a woman doing that though. <br /><br />Monica really makes the older heroine work though. Never really feel that age difference too much. Her book Pleasure Me was excellent if you see that one about. The heroine in this one could feel a bit younger than her age because of how she was raised and what she went through I think. But really an excellent read :) Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-86738864035286327282013-03-05T11:33:37.803-05:002013-03-05T11:33:37.803-05:00I've never read Monica Burns and know I've...I've never read Monica Burns and know I've never read a historical romance with a heroine in her 40's. They're usually barely out of their teens.

I'm adding this one to my list. I don't mind the heroine being a few years older than the heroine but I don't like a huge age difference. In Lisa Kleypas's SUDDENLY YOU, the heroine is just a few years older than the hero and she is not happy about it when she finds out. SUDDENLY YOU is one of my favorite LK books and it's a stand alone. A good one to start with if you want to try her out.southerngirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790070943242464410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-50522348009098043012013-03-05T07:51:17.447-05:002013-03-05T07:51:17.447-05:00My iPad is about to explode with books!

To me, for some reason, the fact that the heroine is "more mature" doesn't bother me in a historical. I like to read stories about middle aged couples, but am uncomfortable with mature women and very young men ( like 20's or younger) . I have no idea why?! <br />Anyway, looks like a very interesting story. thanks for the review Anna!Pat Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981996686917416325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-42777710497541704152013-03-05T02:24:33.779-05:002013-03-05T02:24:33.779-05:00Bwaha.

It was fantastic and I was hooked :D I can't remember the heroines exact age, it's been a while, but I want to say she was in her 40s as well. <br /><br /><br />One of hers is free at the moment.
