A paragon of historical romance. In spite of the fact that this novel contains a lot of things I don't like--possessiveness, protectiveness, strongly defined gender roles, an unnecessary level of negativity towards sex workers, and various other romance novel conventions--it's also really, really good. The main characters have formidable personalities that are conducive to conflict and memorable, in spite of the fact that they've been done many times before. The development of their relationship stays fresh. The book deserves the acclaim its received.
Here's what this book says: caring for people and loving them is humiliating. It makes you vulnerable. It makes you irrational. It makes you small. And in spite of all that, it's still worth it. ( )
Stupendo, ho adorato Lord Belzebù e la formidabile Jess, una coppia fantastica, due caratteri scoppiettanti e dialoghi che mi hanno incantato e divertito. Un libro da non perdere assolutamente per conoscere due personaggi unici. ******** Alla rilettura si conferma ancora bello, avvincente e molto divertente, con bellissimi personaggi, decisamente indimenticabili.
