Jan 18, boogenhagen rated it it was amazing Shelves: betrayal , its-complicated , hurray-and-happy-i-read-it , they-are-soo-unusual , regency-historical-accurate , best-h-smackdown-ever , h-with-a-backbone , fell-off-my-chair-laughing , interestingthings , nicely-done. I love this book. Mainly because while James is a bit mediocre, for once I can actually identify with a romance novel heroine.
If I was in Edwardian England and got lied about and divorced and basically told to crawl into the gutter and die, I would totally haul my hiney over to the Continent and become a really, really pricey courtesan too. I just wouldn't marry James at the end, cause the way I see it, Fran was the high class call girl who makes millions and has a nice pension plan and James w I love this book. James just had no class. So I had a great time with this and reread at least once a year.
Francesca is awesome and I love the setting and the secondary characters. I just wish James had been more interesting.

This book, while it was a good idea, the execution failed on so many fronts. If you're looking for a book in which there are ramifications for lies and deceit, this is not the book for you. Skip it. I really wanted to read this book because YAY, a woman that isn't all shades pure and virginal and being paired with an unrepentant rake. That had been done so many times over and six ways to Sunday I've got to say, though, that, prior to reading, I read a review This book, while it was a good idea, the execution failed on so many fronts.
I've got to say, though, that, prior to reading, I read a review that described Francesca as a "slut" or that her behaviour was "slutty" and my God Good God, the damn book opens with the hero sleeping with someone other than the heroine Francesca, who doesn't kiss or sleep with anyone other than James for the entirety of the novel? She's the slut and the reason for your abandonment of the book? Oh, I see. Just go ahead and embrace the fact that you're a big ol' sexist.
Anyway, moving on. I thought it was amusing that James refers to Francesca as a "whore" and a "harlot" in the infancy of their acquaintance. I know that's what she is by trade, but I still found it rather amusing coming from him considering the fact that he, too, sleeps with others for his job.
At the end of the day, I see little difference. He admits himself that "he'd whored before for his country. Frankly, he's probably got far more years of experience in whoredom than she does. While she's only been a courtesan for the five years since her divorce, he, on the other hand, has been a spy, and presumably a whore, for at least the last fifteen.
What right does he have to shame anyone? One of my biggest disappointments in the book, however, is the general lack of emotion. The reader knows right from the start that James is lying to and deceiving Francesca. This is not a secret. We also see Francesca, who is wary of men and not in the least trusting of them, falling for him throughout the novel.
She starts softening towards him and James, on multiple occasions, sees her look at him "with all her heart in her eyes. And, unfortunately, I'm still waiting. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case because of the risk she took in making Francesca a courtesan and not a different profession.
I was hoping that risk would extend to giving James some well-deserved consequences in response to his deceit but the author seriously copped-out on that front. We get a few angry words and sentences from her but that's it. It's so paltry in comparison to his duplicity. Even that, however, had no emotional impact and came off more amusing than serious. There was absolutely no satisfaction in the reveal. He stalked her, deceived her, played with and used her feelings and, then, when she's telling him to GTFO, he straight up tells her that "[he'll] choke the information out of [her] if [he has] to" I honestly don't understand what's so appealing about James other than his curly hair.
He's duplicitous through most of the novel. Their entire relationship is engineered by him to get what he wants and is based on a foundation of his lies and deceit. He plays with her heart and feelings, knowing that he's doing so. He bodily shakes her on three separate occasions. He tells her that he's "choke the information out of [her]" when she's angry.
He also tells her that, had she been scarred, he doesn't know if he'd still love her!! He felt his face grow hot. But was that true? And could he risk not being true, even if the answer he gave was the wrong one? That's the sweetest most romantic thing a man could ever say to me. View all 13 comments. Dec 24, Jacob Proffitt rated it really liked it Shelves: romance , steamy. I'm still not sure why I found this book so charming.
Part of it is the hero, of course. James is that very inviting beast, the wounded hero. A man who has fought the brutal battles in the shadows and paid the price and believes himself to be, nearly, finished not in the melodramatic way, just in the "I'm done and ready to put myself to pasture" way.
He's damaged, but he's mostly still morally in tact and mostly ready to put a good face on things and fade into obscurity. Naturally, Francesc I'm still not sure why I found this book so charming. Naturally, Francesca pulls him back from all that and her joie ignites his de vivre. Naturally, with the focus of this series what it is, not a little of this is about the pursuit of sexy times.
The reason I'm puzzled by my enjoyment is that I'm not usually much of a fan of the wanton. I don't really get the appeal probably because I'm not much of one myself. To be fair, Francesca isn't really wanton, she just plays one to make what she can of the hand she has been given. Only that sounds worse or better than it is because it's not like she was thrust into the streets so much as it was a recognition that the best way to get revenge was to live high and well and as free as possible.
And that may be why I ended up enjoying her so much. Her motivation was freedom and that's a motivation I understand and can endorse. Let down by the rules that are supposedly there to protect women, she decided to take her own protection in hand and starts off by learning the rules, the skills, and the expectations involved. Anyway, I liked the back and forth between her and James.
I particularly liked how her charm, wit, and just pure energy was so key to his own recovery and return to active involvement in his own life. He was so directionless to start that I enjoyed seeing him wrap himself around her um, in a healthy way, inviting way. A note about Steamy : Not as much as I expected, given the premise. Upper mid range for me with two and a half explicit scenes.
That doesn't seem like it should be upper-mid, unless you account for both the length and, uh, imaginative nature of those scenes Sep 18, Felicia rated it really liked it Shelves: historical-romance , romance. I need to stop reading romances, I'm never ever happy with the endings, because that's just the way romances are.
But anyway, this is a good one. It doesn't star a virgin who's complaining she's 20 and an "old maid" feel good always, haha , this is a courtesan and a thief. Jul 10, Christa rated it really liked it Shelves: booksfree-com. Although I didn't consider this to be one of Loretta Chase's best books, I did enjoy the story. I am not a fan of the courtesan theme, so that influenced my opinion of the book, but Chase portrayed it in a way that made me almost forget I did not like this plot device.
James Cordier is an agent for the British government, and after many years of danger and disguise, he is ready to leave it all behind for a normal life. As he finishes his last mission and is relishing the idea of retirement, he is Although I didn't consider this to be one of Loretta Chase's best books, I did enjoy the story.
As he finishes his last mission and is relishing the idea of retirement, he is called into service for a final time. An English born courtesan in Venice has letters in her possession that prove her ex-husband, newly titled and hoping to soon be Prime Minister, is a traitor to his country. James is tasked with recovering the letters from the courtesan, Francesca Bonnard. James leases a villa across the canal from Francesca, and plans how he will carry out his mission, but before the opportunity arises, he witnesses an attack on her and leaps from his balcony to save her.
James and Francesca are immediately attracted to one another, and against the better judgement of both, become intimately involved. Very quickly, they realize that they have strong feelings for one another. In order to find happiness together, they will have to stop another party who is determined to get Francesca's letters at any cost. Francesca will also have to come to terms with the fact that James withheld his true purpose and agent identity from her. I enjoyed Chase's characters in this novel.
Although I am not prone to enjoy the courtesan heroines, I did like Francesca and felt for her due to the suffering she had endured in England as a young woman with no one to offer support. I thought that James was an enjoyable hero, and I liked the way that he fell so quickly and thoroughly for the heroine.
I appreciated the way that both the hero and heroine admitted to their feelings for one another quickly without denial. Even though the theme of the courtesan is one I seldom like, I found this book to be very enjoyable. View all 8 comments. Sep 10, Gogol rated it it was amazing. This is hands down, one of the best historical romance books ever written. The heroine was set up, betrayed, lied to, humiliated, and divorced in Edwardian England by her disgusting, filthy, pathetic cur of a husband.
But he had drawn her name to the gutter in such a ruthless way that at the time of the divorce he had no fear of her being heard. Now matters had changed, she had the ear of some of the most influential noblemen, artists, writers and politicians and she could topple him and all his plans but with a flick of her hands. There are sub plots and twists, but all the seemingly chaotic loose ends become very neatly tied by the end of the book, and too quickly in my opinion.
I would have loved several more chapters after the view spoiler [ triumphant resolution hide spoiler ] and could very well do with several enjoyable instances of view spoiler [ grovelling hide spoiler ] throughout the final chapters by the hero and afterwards by her view spoiler [faithless former friends!
Letters of apology indeed!!!!! It makes the whole thing so much fun. I think the heroine actually and graciously settled for him, in the end. Also I hope we may see a novella where all these Noirot and De leucy connections are gathered in one place.
Reading this one I think LC has become very circumspect in her later works. I am of course pointing to the dressmakers series which I also love, but which, after this, I think could do with becoming a bit more wicked hide spoiler ] Sep 26, LaFleurBleue rated it really liked it Shelves: romance-histo , paperback. Surprisingly different from a usual historical romance. The hero is both a spy, a henchman, a thief… all for the sake of England, as well as money. He will use any means to get his ends, even having sex with a woman he despises to repossess emerald jewels that she had stolen.
I really liked him, as he seemed very cunning at some times, completely ashamed of himself at some other times, a great actor but overall he remained honest regarding key matters. I also liked that he acknowledged his feelin Surprisingly different from a usual historical romance. I also liked that he acknowledged his feelings rather quickly and then went for them, without doubting himself and without identifying reasons not to succumb to them.
The heroine used to be a lady, came on very hard times, after her husband divorced her, because she had had one affair once in a revenge to his plenty; her father had been indicted in a large fraud at the same time and killed himself. After being shunned by the Ton and her former friends, she turned into a high-flying courtesan, never allowing herself to feel any thing for any of her lovers or suitors would-be lovers as they are. The overall plot was rather good, with regular little twists, some of them being rather unexpected.
The characters were overall very likable and seemed very human even the mean villain henchwoman. A very enjoyable read. Feb 09, Emmanuelle Maupassant rated it it was amazing Shelves: historical-romance , steamy-historical-romance , venice-setting , spy-hero , courtesan-heroine. Feeding my love of thrilling adventure HistRom, this fabulous tale from Loretta Chase, set in Venice, delivers on every front.
Despite multiple attempts on her life, and a real sense of danger, wily seductress Francesca kept everyone on their toes but most especially the hero. Now, I am wistfully dreaming of Venice, the opera, and my own handsome spy Jun 28, Erin rated it liked it Shelves: romance. A fun read, although it didn't quite live up to all the glowing reviews for me. I liked the way the novel kind of openly mocks historical romance convention, particularly in having these two depraved souls find each other.
But a few things bugged. First, Francesca feels it's necessary to tell us on every page that she's a whore. I get that she's proud of the life she's made for herself, but the constant reminders were not really necessary.
I think also that Chase doesn't give her readers enough A fun read, although it didn't quite live up to all the glowing reviews for me. I think also that Chase doesn't give her readers enough credit or doesn't give me enough credit, maybe.
The headings telling us where we were "Meanwhile, across the canal I loved the setting and I loved that the characters spoke Italian to each other, but I will say that the fact that I real Italian pretty well made the constant translating really bothersome. Why even bother with having the characters speak Italian? There are plenty of places where the meaning could be gleaned from context, but my brain also just automatically translated the Italian, so it was like reading a lot of the dialogue twice.
