The subject matter is very touchy, when you are using it in a romance, and I felt Rachel handled things really well. I thought everything was handled well in the story and I was really glad, Nicholas ended up where he belonged for the time being. This is the one of 3 historical romances that I've read recently dealing with domestic abuse. I liked that it was kept at bay throughout most of the novel, yet you know that something is there between them. There was a lot of romantic tension between Emily and Will from the very start. Her father who is dying of lung disease knew better than she did, about Nicholas and his character, or lack thereof. I liked that Emily did her best to stand up for herself, but I also wish she opened her eyes a bit more to Nicholas' bad behavior. In fact, because of the tobacco business that is the forefront of the marriage contract between Emily and Nicholas, we know that they are member of "The Trade!" Will is even more common that that! Not a single one of them are a member of the ton. The Seduction Of Emily is very different from most regency romances.Įmily, Nicholas and Will are all common. I wish there had been some back story to his character that let the readers see how he turned into such a bad seed.
You also have to wonder what made him that way, since Emily repeatedly said that as children they were friends. He was an abusive, nasty, evil, no good, jerk of a man. Nicholas Milne was such a nasty character that I really thought something terrible might befall Emily. I have to say that though The Seduction of Emily made me very nervous at times, while reading it, I enjoyed it just as much. Earlier this year I read her novel for Harlequin Superromance, Finding Justice and loved it. This is the first historical romance by Rachel Brimble that I've read.
