Seven Minutes in Heaven by Eloisa James

2.0

While I enjoyed the fact that the heroine had a career, the overall effect was to make this seem like one of those romance novels that takes place in a nebulous Regency/Victorian mashup. I hadn't read the previous books in the series so the constant introductions to other couples of books past just got irritating. Additionally, reading this book independently, it was historical in the sense that Ward - who thinks Eugenia is "not a lady" - would indeed be willing to sleep with her but not marry her, but the fact that he

made him irredeemable in my eyes. No amount of
Spoilerencouraging her to develop a (second) career
could make up for that. Not one of James' best. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd met the main characters as children in previous books and cared what happened to them.
