Nice romance, interesting story line, especially with the heroine working in a museum, a beauty and the beast retelling, and a bit of suspense. I'm afraid the heroine is TSTL a few times, but all in all I liked it.
Rating: 8/10 ( )

As other reviewers have commented, this book is similiar to Beauty and the Beast. Whereas I liked the characters, and did think they had chemistry, his leather mask was just silly. Other than the mask, I found the story entertaining, I especially liked the hero's inner torment and determination to find out what happened to his parents. ( )

While the plot of this book was entertaining (think Beauty and the Beast meets The Mummy), there were some questions left unanswered at the end. I would have liked to have seen more done with the secret tunnels. Camille was a rather pathetic character too, so passively accepting of Brian's dismissal of her. It was rather infuriating to watch her go from willing to stand up to him in the beginning of the book to acting more like a kicked puppy by the end. For someone who claimed to her own choices, she sure chose to roll over when he finally really did act like the monster he pretended to be. ( )

A beauty and the beast story with a feisty heroine.

Camille Montgomery goes to the rescue of her stepfather confronting the legendary Earl of Carlyle who is torn between his angst and his lust.

The two of them are interesting and the characters are great fun. ( )

Victorian era mystery/romance. Good plot and characters. ( )
