Query: I had high expectations but......

This is the first book by Loretta Chase that I've read. I bought this book based on the good reviews. I enjoyed thie beginning very much. Lydia was a great herione. She had all the qualities that I like in a heroine. She was smart, brave and independent. I didn't really like Vere that much. He was so overdone that I really couldn't warm up to him at all. I know he suffered a lot of personal tradgey but he needed to get over it already.In the beginning the verbal foreplay between Lydia and Vere was great. When the finally did have sex, the scenes were disappointing. They didn't have any of the passion that I expected and they were pretty boring.At about page 252 this book seemed never ending. It dragged and dragged and Ms. Chase added in my opinion an unnecessary plot twist. Also the constant references to to her previous books was annoying.Sensuality rating 2 out of 5.
